I realized that there are few of the other striped combinations in my yard. 'Caribia' as sold here just is blooming its head off. I've got two bushes, one more than 30 yrs old that would benefit from rejuvenation. It has survived my years of neglect, which shows that it's a toughie.
I do grow the red/white striped group with:
two OGrs. 'Ferdinand Pichard', 'Rosamundi' and two HT's ' Tocade' and the climber 'Fourth of July'. I can't make up my mind....
I simply love stripeys!
This season I lost to canker 'Anvil Sparks'
which could've been a good companion to Caribia. I do hope that my nursery will offer her again soon!
There's one other stripey combination to look into here:
'Mme Driout' that is also a short climber
just like Kris I would love to see every striped rose posted in this thread here in my yard!
Well, limitations...I've been told...

But your photos are making me reconsider!!
Carol, and Kris. As Zuzu pointed out earlier this year, when Scentimental was first introduced, it was white with red stripes, as in Dennis' post; but as time has gone on, now they are all red with white stripes! The stripes always were intriguing to me, but I bought it because it was listed as #1 for fragrance for potpourris. I haven't used it for that yet! Maybe next year.
