Beginner Gardening: Color combination with coral, 2 by wickedelph

Hi!

I fell in love with Flower Carpet Roses in Coral and am trying to figure out some complementary colors to work this rose into my front yard. I originally had a plan worked around Little Mischief Shrub Roses, which is closer to a hot pink. Plants in the original plan, but not actually purchased yet, were Caramel Coral Bells, Little Suzy Black Eyed Susans, Ruby Phlox, Max Frei Geranium, Hakone Grass, and Vinca Bowles. Existing plants are Purple Leaf Sandcherry, Nepeta Walkers Low, Boxwoods, and red switch grass.

Any opinions on whether switching the pink roses for coral would still look good or suggestions for switching the other plants for varieties in a color better suited to complement the coral roses?

What are your favorite color combinations with coral? (I attached pictures of the Coral Flower Carpet Rose and Little Mischief Shrub Rose.)

Thanks!
