Getting the best from your roses

This one-day course led by rosarian expert Ian Limmer from Peter Beales Roses Ltd will help you to get the most from your roses. During the course, Ian will aim to cover planting bare root and container roses, transplanting mature roses, growing roses in pots, and pruning modern, shrub, procumbent, climbing, and rambling roses. There will also be the opportunity for questions and answers. No special equipment is required but you may like to bring a notebook and pen. Teaching will take place both in the Classroom and outside so please wear suitable clothing and footwear.

Over the years Ian has travelled the world visiting gardens and giving lectures. Ian has written articles, led workshops, given demonstrations and garden tours, as well as leading the hybridizing programme at Peter Beales Roses, selecting the best seedlings which will go on to become new releases.
