Description of the plant:
Chaplin's Pink Climber is a climbing rose developed by the Chaplin brothers from Hertfordshire, UK, and introduced in 1928. It is a fast-growing variety belonging to the wichuraiana group – hybrid East Asian roses that boast repeated and long-lasting blooming. It bears 5-6 cm wide, semi-double, slightly ruffled flowers when fully open, pink flowers. Having been cultivated for over 100 years, several clones have arisen in the nurseries worldwide, varying slightly in colour hue and intensity – they can be deep pink or just blushing pink, sharp, almost magenta pink or soft salmon pink. The flowers have a mild but pleasant fragrance. It blooms most profusely from June to July and then repeats flowering in several flushes until October.Due to its vigorous growth, it is often classified as a rambler rose (the type that wrapped around the fairy tale tower where Sleeping Beauty was held) as it can grow up to 5 meters and is perfect for fences, pergolas, tall arches, and garden arcades. The leaves are smaller than those of hybrid tea roses, deep green, very glossy, and usually very healthy. Chaplin’s Pink Climber is a cross between Paul’s Scarlet Climber and American Pillar. Once established, it is significantly drought-resistant.
Planting instructions: Prepare a hole of 30x30 cm. Put your rose in the way that the grafting point is 3 cm deep in the soil. Water well and cover new shoots with soil or bark mulch about 15 cm high. Roses tolerate a wide range of soils but thrive in deep, humus-rich, moist but well-drained soil, in full sun.
Pruning: rambling or climbing roses are not supposed to be pruned. But it can be shaped and kept smaller by careful pruning. Deadheading will help setting new flower buds. Trusses of spent flowers are best removed just above the first leaf with 5 leaflets.
