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.. |

| 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. |
