My all time favorite rose is Mrs B R Cant, but I am not sure if it is hardy to zone 6. It grows here in Richmond on a windy hill top with no protection and no die back though. But it is really big. But oh, soooo fragrant. Blush Noisette is fragrant, healthy, hardy to zone 6, a loveley blush pink, and good repeat bloomer.

Some ideas; .

Hi Jason, can you share a little more information on locale? What direction does home face?

I'm not sure a matching row of anything is required on either side. The narrow bed edged by the sidewalk does limit what you can plant. Since that appears to be the sunniest spot, dwarf abelias could work (and fit) there. A few to consider are 'Kaleidoscope', 'Lemon Lime', 'Miss Lemon' or 'Confetti'. But there is no reason you can't mix it up with some other size appropriate broadleaved evergreen. Or even a dwarf conifer. And feel free to squeeze a few tropical-look annuals or temperennials like the cannas (which would look pretty stunning with the abelias). On the shadier, tree side, I'd assume you are not as restricted with the bed width because of no walkway? If so, widen the bed to accommodate other shade tolerant plantings that would fit.....maybe dwarf rhododendrons, pieris or kalmias and suitable perennials like hostas, which can appear very tropical with their big leaves. Or add caladiums for a more colorful tropical vibe. The point is that a single soldierly line of the same plant is boring and uninspired. They don't all have to be the same on either side so pick and choose to maximize contrast, texture and seasonal appeal. And I'd suggest just using annuals on the planting bed streetside of the walkway. With the typical excessively narrow walkway most houses have by default, large bushy plantings edging a narrow sidewalk will start to feel engulfing and intimidating and make the walkway feel even more narrow. I'd get rid of the those big green blobs to begin with. They are doing nothing to enhance the entry,
