We provide an account for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to rough differential equations under the framework of controlled rough paths. The case when the driving path is β-Hölder continuous, for β > 1/3, is widely available in the literature. In its extension to the case when β 1/3, a main challenge and missing ingredient is to show that controlled roughs paths are closed under composition with Lipschitz transformations. Establishing such a property precisely, which has a strong algebraic nature, is a main purpose of the present article.
