A Legacy of Rose Expertise
Founded in 1968, Peter Beales Roses has grown to become a world-renowned authority on classic roses. The business was born from a passion for preserving traditional and rare rose varieties, and that same commitment continues to thrive today.
What began as a small, family-run nursery has evolved into an internationally recognised rose specialist, with a deep understanding of both heritage and modern varieties. Our collection includes thousands of roses, from timeless Old Roses to contemporary climbers and shrub roses, all nurtured with the same dedication to quality.
Peter Beales Roses has enjoyed a longstanding and cherished connection with the Royal Family, a relationship that stands as one of the proudest achievements in our history. For generations, our award-winning roses have graced the gardens at Sandringham, and our team has had the distinct privilege of exhibiting at some of the world's most prestigious flower shows, including the Chelsea Flower Show, where we have been honoured to meet members of the Royal Family.
Over the decades, Her Majesty The Queen, Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and King Charles III have each taken the time to visit our stand and express their personal admiration for our roses. These moments—stopping to discuss the heritage varieties we grow, understanding the care and skill behind each bloom—have been profound honours that have shaped who we are as growers and custodians of the rose.
Their recognition and support reflects our unwavering commitment to excellence. Every rose we cultivate carries with it the responsibility of that trust, and the standards we uphold today remain a direct legacy of those relationships and the countless hours of horticultural dedication that have defined Peter Beales Roses for more than half a century.
At Peter Beales Roses, we take pride in cultivating not only stunning roses but also strong relationships with our customers. Whether you are a first-time gardener or a seasoned professional, we are here to guide you through the journey of choosing, planting, and caring for your roses. Our expertise is passed down through generations, ensuring that the values and passion that Peter Beales himself established continue to bloom in every rose we grow.
We believe that every rose deserves the best possible start. That's why we follow a meticulous planting process, carefully 'heeling in' the roses before they are planted to ensure strong, healthy growth. This traditional technique allows the roses to establish themselves in the best conditions, producing vibrant blooms year after year.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to advancing the art and science of rose breeding. Our expert team is actively developing new varieties that marry classic beauty with modern resilience, whilst also reviving forgotten heritage roses that deserve a place in today's gardens. Through rigorous horticultural research and careful selection, we continue to raise the standards of what's possible in rose cultivation. It's this dedication to innovation and tradition that sets us apart we don't simply sell roses, we champion them. Every variety we introduce reflects our unwavering commitment to be the leading authority on roses in Britain.
