I share seaside's doubts about the blooms; mine also suffers from very weak necks. However, this rose is own-root; will it become more upright when mature?

Mine is own-root and stiff. The soil here is slightly acidic, fertile and mostly clay (some rock), and at 150ft above sea level, at the bottom of a valley.
So far, plant shape is better than Blue For You and Eyes For You. I was worried for downy, because E4Y gets it here, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Color seems highly weather dependent, which is fine. I like the surprise.

The plant is healthy but blooms are already frying in the heat on their first day, and it's only May. (Malta, z11)
I'm not sure how to rate this. I'll wait and see as summer progresses, but if the plant can take the heat but the blooms can't, is this considered "heat tolerant"?
Edit: I have two HCS, they get sun from sunrise to about 3pm.

Almost all "sad" category of blues have sun wilt issues, due to their unique petal biology. Stormy Weather is currently the only except I know of, although it is also a dark purple on top of the "sad" bluing and silver. In fact, it seems to love heat and sun more than most roses.

Wondering if this is the pollen parent:

Possibly 'Eyes for You', which was first introduced as Pejambigeye

I would guess then Eyes For You shares a parent (a cross of an 'eye'- presumably the Tigris seedling- with Jambi) with HCS. So is HCS a backcross of B4U with one of it's parents? At the very least, Jambi must be either Blue For You or some seedling out of SCRIVbell, as all of the PEjam(...) roses involve one of the two.

This rose is very fragrant. The height is at 1,40 m here.
