THE BEATRIX POTTER™ ROSE ! The Beatrix Potter™ rose, sponsored by The Beatrix Potter Society and grown by Peter Beales Roses, Norfolk, was launched at the RHS Chelsea flower Show on 24 May 2010 to celebrate the Society’s 30th Birthday. Patricia Routledge, C.B.E., Patron of the Society, attended the launch. "The rose is a delicate creamy pink coloured shrub rose with a subtle fragrance, reflecting a rose which Beatrix Potter herself painted, and can be ordered direct from Peter Beales Roses www.classicroses.co.uk.
