Notes
'Bessie Chaplin' rose (Rosa 'Bessie Chaplin') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, cut flowers, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun and loamy or clay soil. The upright shrub bears fragrant pink blooms with darker undertones in late spring, early to late summer, and early autumn. Bees visit the flowers, and Chaplin Bros. bred it in 1923.
Pairs well with Blue mistflower, Fountain grass, and Sea holly.
