Change of Heart on Cinco De Mayo

I was kvetching some time back about really disliking the look of Cinco De Mayo. I had her sitting in HT perfect form row - amongst Pink Peace and Brides Dream and Chrysler Imperial and Dream Come True, and she just looked like duck out of water there. When I dug her out to replace her with Neptune I hadn't exactly made a plan for where she was to go. But as I sat there staring at her on her side, one of the healthiest and prolific roses I have, I thought - hey I have an idea. So, I put her between two leggy cl. St. Joseph Coats that needed some lower level filler between them.

I LOVE her there. Of course she's still blooming, just dug up and replanted and in winter and all. The coats are not, but when they do, I think the yellow, orange and brownish/red will be fabulous. And I cut one of her blooms and have it at work today, and I must say that strange bloom shape is starting to grow on me.
