Peter Beales Roses Wins Historic 31st Gold Medal at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026

We are delighted to announce that we have been awarded our 31st Gold Medal at the prestigious RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026, continuing our long-standing success at the world’s most celebrated horticultural event. The achievement marks another milestone for us, with Peter Beales Roses continuing to hold more RHS Chelsea Flower Show Gold Medals than any other rose exhibitor exhibiting at the event today.

Our 2026 show stand is inspired by the timeless beauty of the English country garden, featuring over 1,000 roses grown in Norfolk by breeder Michael Baldwin and the Peter Beales team. Visitors are immersed in sweeping arches, layered fragrance, and a rich palette of traditional and modern rose varieties, brought together through collaborations with East Anglian makers and growers.

A key feature of this year’s exhibit is the collaboration with leading East Anglian businesses, celebrating regional craftsmanship and contemporary garden design. Harrod Horticultural supplied the pergola, rose supports, and elegant table and chairs from their Southwold Collection, helping to create inviting spaces throughout the stand. Meanwhile, Foras Studio provided the striking central water feature, ‘The Shard’, which acted as a focal point within the garden and added movement and atmosphere to the display.

This year’s stand has also marked the launch of two highly anticipated new roses. The first, the BBC ‘The One Show 20th Rose’, was created in partnership with the BBC’s The One Show to celebrate the programme’s 20th anniversary. Officially unveiled during show week at Chelsea, the rose honours two decades of one of Britain’s most loved television programmes, and with a £5 donation from every plant sold going to BBC Children In Need, it made the launch even more special.

Kate Moss attended the show to celebrate the launch of the new ‘Kate Moss’ rose — an elegant variety inspired by timeless British style, beauty, and modern romance. During her visit, Kate spent time with the Peter Beales team alongside her mother, speaking warmly about her genuine love of the rose, gardening, and the craftsmanship behind its creation. Her enthusiasm and appreciation for horticulture brought a personal and authentic connection to the launch, drawing significant attention to the stand

“This year’s Chelsea exhibit has been one of our most ambitious and rewarding to date,” said Ian Limmer, Head Rosarian at Peter Beales Roses. “To receive our 31st Gold Medal whilst introducing two significant rose launches at Chelsea is an incredibly proud achievement for the entire team. Chelsea remains the pinnacle of horticulture, and we are honoured to continue showcasing British rose growing on an international stage.”
