Morden Sunrise grows well here in Kansas where humidity is usually low. This year, we've had unusual rain and humidity and I notice Morden Sunrise has much less blackspot than the other roses. You found a great bargain! I saw it this year at Home Depot and was waiting for them to go less than $15, and they sold out at $15---and they were labeled Mr. Lincoln or something crazy like that. The Bonicas were labeled Morden Sunrise, so that's how I figured out the mixup.
If you are asking about the color combinations, I think I would put another color in between the roses. You could do this with annuals or perennials, not necessarily roses at all. Morden Sunrise has a clear color where the other two are more creamy pastels. Maybe some heliotrope? Something dark purple, or even a dark grass, for example. Maybe Red Flame miscanthus. ( purpurascens)
Here, Morden Sunrise and Bonica get about a foot taller than the flower carpets do. Don't know if that will matter to you or not.
Hope that helps! Post pictures!
Remember that children, marriages, and flower gardens reflect the kind of care they get.
