This summer I grew three purple roses which did exceedingly well in temps in the high 90s and low 100s (yes, they received plenty of water!). I'd have a hard time telling you which was my favorite. The first rose is 'Purple Buttons', bred by Kim Rupert who lives in a high desert climate. The second rose is 'Cardinal Hume'. This rose loves heat. Instead of the semi-double form we normally see in photos of the rose, the rose put on so many extra rows of petals that it almost had an "old-fashioned" bloom form. (Yes, it was properly labeled and is the correct rose. Mr. Rupert confirmed that the rose performed the same way in his high-heat garden.) It was a very prolific bloomer as a maiden plant in my garden. The third rose was 'International Herald Tribune'. Again, this rose thrived in the heat. I am sorry I cannot name any hybrid teas, but I don't grow many of them.

Good luck with your roses.

I grow these purple and pink hybrid teas in Palm Springs: Blue Moon, Neptune, Miss All-American Beauty, Melody Parfumee, Fragrant Memory, Perfume Delight, Love & Peace (not strictly pink but a yellow-hot pink blend). Minimal problems, mainly a bout last fall with powdery mildew which I've taken care of with a regular spraying program.
