Or let us help you search for the perfect rose...
| Roses vary in colour from white through to yellows, oranges, reds and purples. The colour here represents the rose's colour if grown in sandy Norfolk soil in East Anglian weather conditions. If you garden in a different situation then the colour tones may vary. |
||
| Bare root roses are available to order all year with despatch from November to March. | ||
| Container roses are available in spring and summer and ready pruned in late summer autumn. | ||
| Standard Tree roses are budded in 'Standard' form at varying heights. 2'6" for half standards, 3'3" for modern and full standards, 3'6" for shrub standards 4'6" for weeping standards.. |

Refine your search by:
| Roses belong to many families such as the Portlands, Damasks, the modern families and many more. Different families have different charactaristics; the Damasks tend to be very double flowers with heavy scents, and the species tend to be single flowers with mostly little scent that attract varied wildlife. |
||
|
Roses fall into many groups which more or less define their function in the garden. Groups include shrubs which tend to be full, waist height plants, climbers which climb up structures, ramblers with grow quickly up to 15m (40ft) or more although they tend not to repeat flower, and procumbent ground covering roses which are useful for sprawling closer to the ground |
||
Search by the estimated eventual height of the plant.Plant mesurements are given as height by width. All heights quoted on the website are guide heights based on mature plants grown in Norfolk sandy soil conditions under East Anglian sun and so your eventual plant size may vary. |
||
| Rose scent is so subjective that there was intense debate here at Peter Beales Roses on whether it should even be included on our website. But as it is such an important factor for many rose growers we have tried to provided scent strengths. These scent ratings have been compiled soley by Peter Beales himself to try and give total consistancy through out this very subjective topic. For example some roses smell intensely of citrus or myrh but there are some people who can simply not detect either fragrance! |
||
| Roses vary in thornyness from totally thornless roses like Zephrine Drouhin and Kathleen Haropp through to very thorny roses like Kiftsgate and Mermaid, which are so big and thorny they are useful for using as security barriers where intruders may otherwise stray! Most roses have some thorns and some are extremely interesting and beautiful. |
||
| Where possible we have provided the date of introduction for each variety. Some roses, especially the species roses which evolved naturally are so old that the rose community can only guess at the age so we have provided an estimate. |

19. Opening Times ~ Please see page 2 of the catalogue or visit our website on the ‘Contact Us’ page on www.classicroses.co.uk
20. Quality ~ Later in the summer container plants will be sent out ready pruned. This means they will not have flowers and may not have much foliage. These container plants can be planted in the garden or a larger container/pot ready for new growth during the next season. All of our rose stock is of the finest quality for each variety, but it should be noted that although most shrubs, old fashioned and climbing roses etc. make quite good sized plants in a reasonable period of time, some varieties, especially rare varieties, tend to be much smaller. It is often for this reason that many classic roses are not widely grown by other nurseries. Therefore, if you order these types of rose, please accept that the rarer sorts may be smaller than their more vigorous counterparts. Their price relates to the rarity and difficulty to produce rather than the size of the plant. We reserve the right to send the best plant of any given variety we have. If we consider it to be smaller than you might reasonably expect, we will note this on a label. If the plant does not start to produce satisfactory growth, subject to the provisions of our guarantee, we will replace the plant subject to availability of stock.
These terms are current and replace previous terms. The terms will apply to your order, but are subject to change so please do not assume that the same terms will apply to future orders.
