Noel,
Got it -- now I understand your goal.
a note about camelias -- we have a friend in Volcano who grows many varieties quite successfully, and they bloom well for him. Haven't seen that success at lower elevations.
We have an old fashioned floribunda-type rose given to us by a friend that does well. I don't think hybrid teas would do well at all -- too moist.
Crepe myrtles -- we've got one that is doing well that we got as seed years ago on Maui.
Azaleas do pretty OK here, of course there are always the tropical rhododendrons (Vireyas), which do wonderfully here in Puna.
