How do I care for my climbing rose in the summer?

Besides watering my climbing rose, is there anything that can be done to make it flourish and protect it in extreme heat and to protect it from insects or disease?

    I cut off the heads of each rose as soon as it dies,gets brown and withers. I also prune the entire bush in spring. I put a mixture of 1 half cup ammonia, same amount dish soap
    detergent, peppermint oil, and wash th leaves if they look damaged, Use miracle grow to make things speed up in the growth area, and an old secret my grand mom does, place a banana peel under the soil about four inches below the roots and be prepared for next years blooms if you do each thing, i even added more than one and the smell of theses wild roses was intoxicating.Trim it back, prune and do not forget to water thoroughly in the morning before its too hot.
