Help me pick a rose color

Hi all,
I need some help to decide on a color rose for my rose garden. I have one yellow gold medal, white JFK, dark purple deep magenta sweet intoxocation , red scarlet knight. and
an azalea bush color is like a hot pink. I was thinking an orange color maybe? What would be a good color to match with my other roses? Any help would be appreciated. :D

Maybe look into a striped Gallica type - the hot pink and white stripers are quite striking and fairly unusal in the US.... 'Tricolore de Flandre' comes to mind, as does 'Mecene' and 'Cardinale de Richelieu' (which is a purple striper). 'Camayeux' is also very attractive.

You already have yellow, purple, red, and hot pink, I would definitely NOT throw orange in there. Very jangly. Maybe a pale pink?
