Rose ‘Caroline Quentin’ officially unveiled at RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026
The rose was officially unveiled at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 at Sparsholt University Stand, with Caroline attending the launch in person.
Rose ‘Caroline Quentin’ is an elegant, richly scented floribunda with soft pink double flowers, glossy dark green leaves, and a strong floral scent. Due to its compact tree shape and abundant flower count, it has been bred for modern gardens and blooms repeatedly throughout the season.
Inspired by Caroline’s lifelong love of gardening and her creative platform, CQ Garden, Rose reflects her signature style: romantic, artistic, and deeply connected to the joys of outdoor living. In an interview with Thompson & Morgan, Caroline Quentin said:
“I’m so happy to have my name named after the most beautiful, pinkest, sweetest-smelling rose I’ve ever seen. It’s incredibly emotional and an honor to know that this gorgeous rose will carry my name into the future.”

In support of St Peter’s Hospice
As part of the launch of the beautiful new Caroline Quentin Rose, Thompson & Morgan is proud to support St Peter’s Hospice. A charity work that has special meaning to Caroline herself. For every rose sold, £1 is donated directly to the hospice, funding the vital care and support they provide to individuals and families facing life-threatening illnesses.
“We are delighted to be part of the launch of this beautiful new rose. Partnerships like this allow us to continue to provide compassionate care and support to patients and families facing some of the most difficult times. We would like to thank Thomson and Morgan and Caroline Quentin, who has been a great supporter of ours over the years.”
“Every purchase not only brightens up the garden, but also helps us make a real difference to people in our community who need our support. We are very grateful that a portion of the proceeds will be donated to St Peter’s Hospice, helping us to continue our vital work.”
Through this collaboration, each ‘Caroline Quentin’ rose purchased will bring comfort, compassion and support to a local family, and each flower will make a meaningful contribution to an important cause.
