Spectacular new charity bloom and lifesaving-themed Great Pavilion display will commemorate the RNLI's 200th anniversary in style at the world-famous flower show.
Leading grower Peter Beales Roses will unveil Rosa 'With Courage' at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in May – an exquisite new bloom that's poised to raise more than £40,000 to help support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI). The spectacular rose marks the start of a touching new collaboration between Peter Beales Roses and the RNLI and will commemorate the charity's 200th anniversary with a breathtaking floral showcase that will grace Chelsea's Great Pavilion.
Peter Beales Roses – a 28 times RHS Chelsea gold medal winner – and the leading lifesaving charity are bursting with excitement to debut their new alliance at RHS Chelsea, presenting a display that not only celebrates the exquisite allure of roses but also pays homage to the extraordinary efforts of the RNLI and its valiant volunteers who, together, have saved over 144,00 lives since the charity's formation in 1824.
Rosa 'With Courage' is a modern classic floribunda bred to reward the nation's gardeners with an abundance of beautiful coppery orange double flowers set against mid-green glossy foliage. Free-flowering, compact, and growing to 3ft tall, peachy pink tones add charm to outer petals, which display yellow accents at their base, while a sweet apple scent fills the summertime breeze with delightful fragrance. Having performed spectacularly during Peter Beales' own field trials, the 'With Courage' rose has taken six years to come to market to ensure it can more than meet the demands of modern gardens.
