The team at Peter Beales Roses are celebrating a successful RHS Chelsea Flower Show this year as they managed to secure a prestigious 30th gold medal to add to their run of success.
This year’s award-winning display, designed by Nursery Manager Ian Limmer, captivated judges and visitors with a harmonious blend of artistry, scent, and environmental awareness.
A key theme of the stand was wildlife and sustainability, demonstrating how roses can form the backbone of an ecologically rich garden as advised by The Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
By incorporating two 20ft Silver Common Birch, from Barcham Trees, the team were able to showcase how rose varieties such as Rambling Rector are able to scale 5m high as well as demonstrating further housing for birds.
