Peter Beales Roses have been awarded a prestigious Gold Medal at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2025. This achievement marks their second Gold Medal of the year, following their celebrated success at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025.

Designed by Rosarian’s Mat Nicholas & Rosie Rosher, this year’s award-winning exhibit puts a spotlight on the essential role that roses can play in sustainable, wildlife-friendly garden design. The display features a diverse array of species and heritage roses, complemented by pollinator-attracting companion plants, illustrating how ornamental gardening can also support biodiversity.

Incorporating bird feeders, insect habitats, and a fresh water source, the garden demonstrates practical ways to create inviting sanctuaries for birds, bees, butterflies, and other beneficial wildlife. Towering rose varieties such as Chevy Chase, trained over arches provide vertical interest and natural shelter, further enhancing the ecological value of the space.

“We are absolutely delighted to receive a Gold Medal at BBC Gardeners’ World Live,” said Ian Limmer, Nursery Manager. “To win a second Gold this year, following Chelsea, is a tremendous honour for the whole team. Our goal was to showcase the beauty of roses while inspiring gardeners to consider how every garden can support nature.”

The Peter Beales Roses display can be found inside the Floral Marquee throughout the duration of BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2025.
