PLANNING OUT COLOR COMBOS...
finding colors that go well alongside this rose was a little tricky. it needs something to enhance its unusual coloring and not detract from it.

through trial and error, i found that it looks good next to red (RED) roses, real white roses, and plants with purple or blue/purple flowers. bright yellow can work as well, for the adventurous. ;)

i decided on mr. lincoln, mirandy (in this zone, it almost appears to be a hot magenta. which works.), yellow daisies, one of the annuals that has intense blue/violet flowers (forget the name) and med-purple pansies. the garden now looks like a controlled riot of color that pops your eye from one thing to the next and has been getting a ton of comments. :)

i also stuck a Garden Party next to Mr. L on a whim, because GP is such a wonderful, dependable rose that i wanted to try a second bush, especially when it was only $7 at Lowe's. avoid roses that are not solid-colored for planting next to CP, because it really detracts from it. (an orange hibiscus with a magenta throat also resides next to it and looks quite fetching, if you are into those.)

you might also try lavender or mauve roses. if i had one, i would have tried Blueberry Hill, or Barbara Streisand, or any of the more deeply colored purples.

I imagine it would go well with Tequila Sunrise, Playboy, Love etc.

Quite a good rose. Very vigorous and disease-resistant. Many nice colored flowers. The only downside seems to be its lack of smell.

I've been so pleased with this rose. After one year, my tiny band plant is now five feet tall and a little over four feet wide. I haven't had any disease problems at all, and the repeat is very fast. I live near Houston, TX.
