As I am writing this to you at the very start of the year and thinking

about the year ahead I am illed with great excitement as 2018 marks the 50th anniversary of Peter Beales Roses! This therefore is set to

be a year of great celebration for us. To mark the occasion we are

due to launch a beautiful apricot-pink climbing rose named ‘Fragrant

Celebration’ at this year’s RHS Chelsea Flower Show. A special event

is also planned to take place at the nursery here in Attleborough,

Norfolk to celebrate 50 golden years.

It hardly seems possible that it was over 40 years ago that I irst started working for the company. Employed as a Saturday boy to help Peter around the nursery,

originally located in Swardeston, where I was one of only 5 people working at the nursery at the

time, including Peter. Since those early days the company has grown and changed a lot and today

we now employ over 50 full and part time members of staff.

Over the years Peter has accumulated an impressive catalogue

of roses, even saving many from extinction. I remember many

occasions whilst working alongside Peter when he would

suddenly leave me to it and go off in search of more new and

exciting varieties to add to the catalogue. Now forty years

on, I ind myself in the same situation and always looking to offer what we feel is the widest choice of great quality rose

varieties from top rose breeders from around the world. This

year alone we have added over 65 spectacular new varieties

to the catalogue, each boasting good health and very long

lowering periods.

As well as adding many new and exciting rose varieties to our

range, we are also pleased to be able to offer a large choice

of other garden plants at the same great quality that our

customers have come to expect. The choice of hardy garden

plants we have on offer is unfortunately much too large for us

to include in this catalogue, so please visit our garden centre

or our website to view all that we have available.

With our 24th gold medal successfully under our belts from the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show last May, we are

now focussing our attentions to this year’s Chelsea. With

many more climbing and rambling roses planned for this year’s

display, adorning some wonderful supports supplied by Classic

Garden Elements and Redwood Stone, we are hoping that

we will be able to reach the amazing achievement of 25 gold medals. Being able to achieve this in our 50th year would mean

a tremendous amount, not just to me, but the whole team so

let’s keep our ingers crossed that we can do it.

At our garden centre in Attleborough, Norfolk we are

continually working hard to improve our visitor experience.

Last year we expanded our plants sales area even further

and the refurbishment of our garden centre, tea room and

restaurant in 2015 has helped to make Peter Beales the place to come for not only roses, but for other garden plants as well.

Our beautiful rose gardens also continue to

bring in increased visitor numbers from all

around the world. With signiicant changes and improvements made to our display

gardens over the past few years and the

addition of our wildlife gardens, a visit to

Peter Beales Roses offers a great day out for

the whole family.

Another thing which we continue to improve

on is our range of fun and informative

workshops and events. Some of the

highlights for the year ahead include posy

making, clematis, hanging basket and holly

wreath workshops, a range of rose care and

cultivation courses, along with some exciting

children’s activity days and of course our

popular rose festival and plant, food and craft

fair.

With so many things to look forward to and

celebrate this year I just hope I ind time to stop to enjoy the roses, because at the end of

the day that is what it is all about. Ever since

those early days working alongside Peter,

roses have been my passion and after a hard

day at work there is nothing more rewarding

than sitting in the back garden enjoying the

sweet scent drifting on a light summer breeze

from my favourite roses with a glass of wine.

Happy rose growing,

many coming from renowned growers and breeders;

- our range of clematis alone is breath-taking. This

is all backed up with our plant and rose advisory

service, which is of the highest standard in the area.

‘Modern Classic’ Roses by Peter Beales

Over the

last thirty or so years

we have raised and introduced

a number of Classic Roses. But,

great roses don’t just happen

overnight, they are the result

of years of painstaking breeding

and hybridizing and at Peter

Beales Roses the breeding team

have striven to develop under

the invaluable guidance of the

late Peter Beales the very elusive

‘perfect rose’.

Although we would not be

so bold as to state that this

has been achieved, devoted

gardeners and rose lovers can

be reassured that every rose

included within the ‘Modern

Classic’ collection have been

especially chosen because it

holds certain qualities required

to fulfil that status, such as,

beautifully shaped blooms,

fragrance, robust growth and a

signiicant disease resistance.

Ely Cathedral Modern ShrubA proliic repeat lowering shrub rose that produces a wonderful multi-headed display of deep red buds that open to reveal fully

double, rufled blooms. Although classiied as a shrub rose the pliable stems can easily be trained around a post or obelisk

creating a stunning pillar rose. Robust and rudely healthy, the

mid-green foliage only serves to complement the rose further.

Growing to approximately 5ft (150cm) in height, this rose makes

a lovely addition to a mixed border especially if planted with a

white Buddleja and underplanted with Lavandula.

Highly regarded by historians and architects for its beauty

and size, Ely Cathedral is regularly acknowledged as one of

the ‘Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages’. The present building

dates backs to 1070 and, being visible for miles across the

Cambridgeshire landscape, is often referred to as ‘The Ship of

the Fens’. As well as being a thriving Christian place of worship

and major visitor destination, Ely has become well known for

its high proile events and concerts in addition to featuring as a prominent location for some major ilms including Elizabeth: The Golden Age, Macbeth, The King’s Speech and The Crown.

Mark Bonney, Dean of Ely said “The inspiration for an Ely

Cathedral rose came as a result of our highly successful

lower festival in 2013 and we are delighted to have worked with Peter Beales Roses on this exciting project. The rose they

have cultivated for Ely Cathedral produces a classic, elegant

yet vibrant lower and fulills all that we hoped for.”

The Ely Cathedral rose is

to be officially launched

at Chelsea and will feature

prominently amongst the

magniicent displays planned for the Cathedral’s highly

anticipated 2018 Flower Festival, Kaleidoscope of Life.

2018 Rose Introduction




Spectacular roses bred by DelbardIn 1935 George

Delbard opened his

first store on the banks

of the river Seine

and it wasn’t long

before the name and

reputation of Delbard

quickly spread across

the globe. By 1958 the first Delbard research

l aboratory was

opened with scientists and breeders working to

understand the mysteries of rose culture. Stronger

flowers, greater scent and more importantly

disease resistance.

Over the years the family business grew and in

1972 Henri Delbard became Managing Director, overseeing the development of over fifty garden

centres across France, also opening one of the

most advanced research and breeding facilities in

Europe. 2012 saw Arnaud Delbard, Henri’s son take responsibility for the name of Delbard, carrying on

his family’s legacy of bringing the joy of roses to

the world.

Since the 1930s, over 250 new varieties have been bred by the Delbard family and each introduction

is treated like a baptism of a child, being presented

to the world. Delbard continually strive for

perfection, doing so with love and consideration

for the world around them. Each rose introduced

is a gift to us all. A simple bloom which they hope

will touch all of our lives.

From Field to Garden How a Peter Beales rose is grown

The bud is then inserted into the ‘T’ shape, taking care to

keep it clean.

Using the budding knife a ‘T’

shape is carefully cut into

the root stock.

The bud is now ready to be inserted into the root stock. 7 8 9


All our roses take nearly two years from the time that the root stocks are planted into the ield to the time your chosen rose is ready to be planted in your own garden...

The buds are carefully removed

from the bud wood using

a special budding knife.

Once the bud has been cut from the stem the excess is removed leaving just the

bud.5 6

Once the bud wood has been cut,

the leaves and thorns are

then removed by hand. 4

Bud wood is carefully selected

and cut by hand for each

individual variety of rose.

Fig 2

Wood cutting of last season’s plants takes place during the summer to collect buds for the new crop.

In the irst year root stocksare planted into the ields

in April.

Year 1

1 23



In late spring new shoots are

cut back to encourage more

shoots to create a bushier

plant.

The biodegradable tie helps

to keep dirt out as well as

ensuring that the bud is

secure.

Each rose is budded by hand over the course of several

months during the summer.

The young roses grow quickly and their different foliage

characteristics are clearly visible.

Most varieties lower during their irst summer and all varieties will be used to supply bud wood for the next season’s crop.

A biodegradable tie is

immediately fastened over

the bud.

By spring new growth willstart to appear from the bud, turning the plant into the desired variety.

In January the growth is cut

back hard to encourage all

the energy to go into the

inserted bud.

Year 2

The young roses start to produce

several shoots, which will

supply the framework

for an attractive mature plant.

When buying a Peter Beales rose, you can be conident that our passion for roses has gone into nurturing your plant. Lovingly cultivated by our experts, we ensure that your rose has the best start in life. Each

rose is then handpicked for delivery by one of our rose team; choosing strong, robust plants, you can

be reassured that a irst grade plant is selected to the speciic growing habits and characteristics of your chosen variety.

We take pride in being world leaders in classic roses and are delighted to be able to offer one of the

largest collections of roses commercially within the UK. With over 1,100 different varieties to choose

from, many of which are rare and only available from us in the UK, Peter Beales are the obvious choice

when considering any new rose for your garden.

Lifting of the roses begins sometime in October, just as the roses are becoming

dormant.The roses are hard pruned,

tied and labelled.

Roses potted into containers will later become available around springtime.

The roses are trimmed back in September in preparation for the bare root season.

The roses are then sorted for both bare root orders and for potting as container

stock.

Lifting continues through the

winter and can be affected by

bad weather, which can

make it dificult to lift the roses.

For most rose gardeners the size, colour and

adaptability of a rose is often more important to

the garden than the group it belongs to. For this

reason the catalogue has been carefully layed out

according to colour and height. If you wish to see

the cultivars set out according to their family

groups turn to pages 220 to 225.

Colour BandingClassification by colour is very subjective. In

each band there are inevitably shades which are

borderline between one colour grouping and

another. In addition, intangible factors such as

weather and soil type may affect the colour of

blooms. Colours can also change as the bloom

ages. If colour is critical to a particular design

scheme, we strongly advise that you see the rose

in lower before making your choice. We cannot be held responsible if your perception of a particular

colour differs from our own.

A Note about Rare CultivarsAll our stock is of the best possible quality for the

particular variety, but it should be noted that some

varieties, especially the rarer cultivars, tend to be

much smaller than their modern or more vigorous

counterparts. In other words, their price relates to

rarity and degree of dificulty to produce rather than the size of plant. We therefore reserve the

right to send the best plant we have of any given

variety.

A Note on FragranceFragrance is often a priority when considering a

new rose, but please note that fragrance is very

subjective and that everyone’s sense of smell is

different. What may be heavily scented to one

person, may offer very little to another. For this

reason we cannot take responsibility for any

differing opinions as regards to the degree of

perfume of any of the roses we supply.
