Well, I'm starting to think that Houzz is only showing this post to me. I can't believe no one has commented yet! I guess you may need to try Bolero and come back and tell us if it does OK in hot, humid weather! I would tag some Florida growers here, but I can't get Houzz to do that for me.

I do not have Bolero so I can not comment. I do have Nahema. I live in South Florida zone 10. I do not notice the flowers blowing too fast.... they do blow faster than my HT's, but less than my David Austins. I have Heritage and I love her scent, but she does blow fast.... Nahema is not like that.

Nahema is upright in my garden.I do not have support for her. I let her be bush like instead of climber like. I had her in a pot for a long time. She got spider mites pretty bad. But when the plant kept blowing over I ended up putting her in the ground. This seems silly, but maybe she just hated the pot because she seemed not to have the same problems with the spider mites as bad. She does get Chili Thrips, but not too bad. I think it is because her leaves are leathery.

She is/was relatively disease free.... Not bad on BS.... I did have major problems with her starting in September..... but it wasn't her fault. I live on the Intracostal and flooded from the king tides when a storm went by. She fought it off relatively well, but when we flooded again in October from another tide along with 15 inches of rain she did NOT shake it off. I had major dieback. I thought I had lost her. I lost a lot.... I mean A LOT of roses..... but it looks like Nahema might make it..... she is putting out some new canes from below the ground..... She is not as vigorous as she has been.... she is own root and may have suffered some root damage from all of the flooding.... but just the thought that she made it when so many others died shows she is a really good rose. She even seems to shake off the salt air pretty good.... and she seems to keep her form.

Hope this helps.

I shovel pruned my Nahema . She used to grow really tall 3 ft laterals and bloomed at their end . the blooms didn't last more than a day during hot weather (which is most of the year in FL ).

If you Google Bolero Rose and Houzz, some old threads should pop up. There are some really great threads I and others growers shared of our experience growing Bolero. It’s one of my absolute favorite roses. I live in Hot Dry Southern California climate.

Bolero is a fantastic rose in hot humid Texas. Blooms all summer, smells great, stays compact.

Bolero loses size and petal count in the dry heat here, but I may not be watering them adequately.

Nahema does not smell like Heritage to me. Heritage has lemon tones which Nahema does not have.

I'm USDA Zone 7a in Maryland so my growing conditions are different from yours. I also haven't had NAHEMA for very long. I planted the rose last spring as a replacement for HERITAGE. Please keep these things in mind.

I did like what I saw last spring and summer. The own root plant was tiny. I mean REALLY TINY: An own rooted band, which is a nice way of saying it was a twig. So considering it was an embryo, the "band" put on a good amount of size. More so than the either BOULE DE NEIGE or LOUISE ODIER which were also bands planted in the same bed at the same time. By the end of summer NAHEMA had grown into a 3-foot v-shaped shrub. Pretty darn good. I just walked outside and looked at the plant and it is already budding for spring, so she sailed through our abnormally cold winter and ice storms. One thing struck me as I gazed at the naked canes was how they were nearly thornless. HERITAGE is advertised as a "thornless" rose but that is not completely true. She has thorns, which are medium sized and spaced widely apart. NAHEMA is an improvement as the thorns are smaller and spaced even wider apart. I swear if it weren't for a few prickles that rose would be smooth.

The mat, dark green foliage is weird. No other way to put it. The edges curl giving it a holly-like look. I had read about the foliage here on the forums so it was expected. Still looked weird, but the leaves do clothe the canes better than the foliage on HERITAGE, which is kinda sparse. NAHEMA's foliage is also more resistant to black spot, but here in black spot hell did need spraying by mid-summer. Keep in mind in Maryland EVERY modern rose needs spraying with fungicides. Even the much vaulted Knock Outs.

As for the blooms - yeah I made you wait for it - they are a decided improvement. I really liked HERITAGE for her nicely shaped shrub, continuous repeat bloom, and ravishingly beautiful blooms but those flowers have no vase life unless you cut them in tight bud. Even then once the bloom matures - either on the bush or in the vase - it drops the petals literally WITHIN HOURS. Drove me crazy. So I closely monitored the development of NAHEMA's blooms as they matured. Much better. Same shell pink color and globular flower form, but Nahema's blooms have more petals, and no they don't ball. You get approximately 2-3 more days before they shatter. I can live with that. The fragrance is actually stronger and sweeter. I like it better. I was surprised by the repeat bloom. You don't usually see much on own root modern roses until the third year, but Nahema bloomed all summer. Not as quick as Heritage but hey, the rose is a baby. Best of all and thank goodness, the stems don't nod the flowers. HERITAGE doesn't either so no surprise there.

In my limited experience NAHEMA is an improvement on HERITAGE. Although classified as a climber, I intend to train NAHEMA as a shrub using frequent pruning to keep it in check. That is all I have for now. You should buy it. I got mine from Rogue Valley Roses.

Here’s the link the the Bolero Thread I previously mentioned... https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5686865/bolero-a-favorite-for-many-of-us

Heres a bloom from the plant i got. Gorgeous!

Update: nahema lasts justs as long as heritage for me, one day and it shatters. I really hope this improves as it ages though as the fragrance is very nice.

Another thumbs up for Bolero.

I have 3 in different locations and the are fabulous in each location

Summers here are hot and dry

I've been pretty happy with Nahema in MidTn where we have plenty of heat and humidity. She does not seem to slow down much mid summer when most of the others call time out. Excellent repeat compared to all my other climbers and I haven't noticed a quick shatter. She may not last as long as some others, but she certainly keeps her blooms long enough to deserve a spot here. She's disease resistance, but if you have a low tolerance for bs you may want to spray her. I don't spray and it doesn't seem to slow her down. She was also an exuberant grower in her first year (bareroot from Palentine on multiflora) without being the least bit unruly. It was very easy to trellis out her main canes on cattle panel type set up. I don't buy for fragrance, but hers is the best/stongest I've got in my garden. The one thing I would note is you must pull her canes on the horizontal and her blooms do not nod at all so you get a better view of her when looking down at her. If you don't train her right I could see how you would be very unhappy with her.

In my experience they're both great cold and hot weather roses. While this is a cold zone, our summers are triple digit, sometimes the entire season. Both are hardy and healthy and excellent bloomers. I grow Bolero at the front of beds since she's a shortie. I have 3 and they are all exactly the same size and form, though bought a year apart. I grow Nahema on an obelisk. She has not reached the top in 4 years, but steadily grows upward and is bushy and blooms throughout the plant. She is easy to train in whatever direction you want. I'm not good at describing scents, but both of these have lovely, strong scents.
