We're excited to offer a sneak peek of our newest rose... In celebration of the Oxford Botanic Garden's 400th anniversary, we are delighted to be officially launching a new rose for them at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2022. Founded in 1621, the University of Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest botanic garden in the UK and one of the oldest in the world! Although the new rose will not officially be available to buy until next year, the beautiful new hybrid was revealed by Oxford Botanic Garden Director Professor Simon Hiscox along with  Peter Beales Roses Nursery Manager Ian Limmer on Sunday 25th July 2021, accompanied by special guest Lord Patton of Barnes.

Normally by now the Roses would have returned from the RHS Chelsea flower show and if they hadn’t already had the Chelsea Chop, then they would be trimmed over the next few weeks. “What is the Chelsea Chop?” I hear you all ask. When we break our stand down at the end of the Chelsea Flower Show most of the shrubs and some climbers will be cut down very heavily for ease of transporting them home. Although the big flower shows have been cancelled this year, I have still been doing something similar to invigorate the plants into new growth. This helps to form bushier and hopefully more compact shrub plants. While we aim for more manageable shrubs, this hard prune should also encourage climbers and ramblers into producing lots of long straight stems. Some of the ramblers have already put on nearly 7 ft of new growth!
