About
Rosa 'Chaplin's Pink Companion' is a cultivated rose within the genus Rosa that produces an extended display of blooms from June to September. Flowers are borne in succession across the summer months, making it useful where season-long colour is required. It forms a multi-stemmed shrub habit suited to planting in mixed borders or as a specimen. Pruning in late winter keeps the framework open and productive.

In the garden
Rosa 'Chaplin's Pink Companion' is a garden rose cultivar in the Rosaceae family that carries flowers steadily through the UK summer; its recorded flowering period runs from June to September. As a cultivated rose it benefits from the standard handling that roses need: a fertile, free-draining soil, good air movement around the stems and a position that receives ample daylight to drive repeat flowering. Plant with a generous mulch and an annual feed in spring to support robust shoot and flower production; remove dead or crossing wood to maintain an open centre and reduce disease risk. Prune in late winter to shape the plant and encourage fresh growth for the coming season. In a UK garden it sits well in mixed shrub borders, beside a pathway where the blooms can be appreciated, or trained into an informal short hedge. Light deadheading after the first flush helps extend bloom through June to September on Rosa 'Chaplin's Pink Companion'.
