crape myrtles keep watered.. come in a variety of colors and growth patterns. the moss rose is supposed to be drought tolerant and easy to grow, these aren’t roses jsut called that.
try googling tropical flowering plants and see what pops up.

Some other plants to Lantana, Canna, Musa, Lotus and Verbena. There are quite a few choices out there. Best is to contact your local nursery (not the big box store, but a real nursery) and ask them to suggest plant for you.
