randman zone 8b

I am planting in raised beds around a pool area. It's zone 8 central Louisiana. I inherited many bushes in August after purchasing an old farm place. I learned quickly that most bushes there did not like the heat. Several simply stayed dormant or cooked, but some flourished. It is full sun and the heat also bounces off the brick. The evening sun is intense.

The largest bush there is a knock-out. Of course it grew and bloomed like crazy. Will others perform like this?

What roses would you suggest planting in this area? I love the look of the DA roses, but wonder if they will survive. Repeat blooming is important. Any ideas are appreciated. I am grateful to have found this group.
