Booking terms

This event is booked through Eventbrite, a third-party booking platform, rather than directly with Peter Beales Roses.

  • Paid events: Eventbrite adds a booking fee to the ticket price when you check out.
  • Free events: there are no booking fees.

Now that we use Eventbrite for bookings, there is no way for us to avoid or remove these fees. We're sorry for any inconvenience.

Every rose has a story. Some honour queens, artists or gardeners. Others commemorate war heroes, philanthropists, loved ones, or people now almost forgotten by history.

Why was a rose named after them? What did they do to deserve such an honour? And what secrets lie behind some of the world's most famous rose names?

Join us for an interesting journey through the lives, achievements, triumphs and occasional scandals of the people immortalised in roses. You may never look at your garden in quite the same way again.

This talk will be led by our horticultural expert Dawn and is part of our free Gardening Club Series.
