Honeysuckle v rose

I planted a lovely honeysuckle approx 8 years ago with a lemon scent and pale lemon flowers. Last year I planted a beautiful rose 'Lady of the Lake', creamy pink. I planted it in a rush as it had been in the original pot for some months as I couldn't decide where to plant it. They are on a south facing fence. The rose has taken off and doing well. The honeysuckle also is happy. 

My problem is they flower at the same time and due to the colours seem to drain each other of colour so neither appears at their best, but individually they are stunning. They both smell gorgeous. 

They are currently approx four feet apart. 

Which one do I move? And when?

Or should I train each to grow away from one another and plant something in between? If so, what? I love blues, purples, pinks, creams and yellows.
