It is, as virtually everyone here has noted, a lovely thing in color and even in scent. But, based on my own experience and a few other comments I've read here, I would recommend that you plant it, say, againt a fence where other plants can hide its lanky, bare legs. In this respect, it's a lot like some of the climbing hybrid teas (although it's not classed as such). It won't work, at least for me, as a pillar rose. I need to move mine to a more appropriate location, though the rose will definitely stay in my garden.

When I grew it, it did very well against a cedar fence. I pegged the primary basals in a C-shape in both directions. I found this the easiest way to train it and get optimal blooms are both the mid and high levels. A lot of climbers can be done in the classic V or W shapes, or even a VERY wide V-shape, but some like Royal Sunset are not typical and really do prefer alternate ways to train them. This is for back structures. Pillar and arch structures may be different, as I never really used them (I don't like blocking light out with structures).

Does anyone know how this rose grows in a hot and humid climate, zone 9a, in the Houston, Texas area?

Yes, it does well in both hot and cool climates. It just doesnt do well in extreme cold winters.
