wow, that's uncomfy as far as hot & humid. Mid summer, we're talking mid nineties in the day, dropping usually in the 60s at night, humidity on a HUMID day around 60%, but usually between 10-20%. Gets dark around 9ish & full sun again around 6am. Kinda miss NNY.. in the summer it didn't get full dark until literally like 1030pm and was full sun at 5am! I could FISH!! But the tradeoff was in the winter.. didn't get full light until about 9am and got full dark by 4. :(

Mardi Gras is a rose that has been most forgiving for me. She just plugs along blooming all season for me. She's also the first to wake up in the spring & one of the last to go to bed for the winter. Not as strong a scent as some others, but definitely worth a gander at. You might want to check Intrigue. I don't know how he'll handle the humidity (as you can see, I don't have any), but extremely strong smelling and very generous with blooms once it gets going. Same with Heirloom.
Roses are one of my passions! Just opened, my Etsy shop (to fund my rose hobby)! http://www.etsy.com/shop/Tweet...
