I’m very disappointed with their chosen delivery provider, DPD. They emailed me to confirm that my parcel from Peter Beales would arrive between 2:30 and 3:30 PM, 28 April). I stayed at home today specifically to receive this rose. However, at the last minute, they sent another message claiming that they had “missed me” and rescheduled delivery for tomorrow.
The next day, 29 April, I received a message from DPD at 19:28 PM saying, “Sorry, we missed you. Your driver, Vasile, won’t be back today, but you can still rearrange your delivery.” So, outrageously frustrated. I requested a refund and received it (hence 2 stars).
This was my first (and last) time ordering from Peter Beales Roses, and I regret making this purchase. No wonder so many people — myself included — highly recommend David Austin Roses.

Thanks for sharing your experience and I’m really sorry for the frustration caused.
This isn’t the level of service we expect, especially when you’ve made time to be in for a delivery. While we work with DPD as a trusted courier, issues like this can occasionally happen, but the communication you received clearly wasn’t good enough.
I’m glad your refund was processed promptly, but we understand that this doesn’t make up for the inconvenience caused.
We’re feeding this back to both our internal team and the courier to help prevent similar situations going forward. If you did want to give us another try in future, we’d hope to provide a much smoother experience.
Beautiful rose for a special Wedding Anniversary
Beautiful rose for a special anniversary. My sister was so impressed she has bought another one.

Thanks for sharing lovely to hear the rose made the anniversary that bit more special.
Even better that it’s inspired another purchase always a good sign. Hope both roses go on to thrive and put on a great display.
Poor quality unhealthy rose.
I ordered a black baccara hybrid tea rose and was sent a rose that had so much dieback on it. I had to prune it and still the rose is experiencing lots of dieback. I have emailed Peter Beale for help on how to make this rose survive but I doubt it is possible to save it now.
Do not order from this company. Stick to David Austin or Eastcroft Roses.

Sorry to hear about your experience with your Black Baccara rose — that’s not the standard we expect.
All of our roses are covered by a one-year guarantee, and the Black Baccara variety this season has generally been performing well, so it would be helpful for us to take a closer look at what’s happened in your case.
If you’re able to, please send a few photos of the plant to support@peterbealesroses.com along with your order details. Our team can assess the dieback and advise on the next steps, whether that’s care guidance or arranging a replacement if needed.
Do not buy from Peter Beale
I ordered a potted rose on 22nd April, outside the time for a bare-root rose, correctly, April is too hot to plant a bare root rose. Delivery was very fast, just 2 days. Well done. But I needed to keep the rose for a family members birthday. Shouldn’t be a problem. I put it in a protected area out of direct sun and kept it sensibly watered. Despite that the three small buds that were breaking failed to thrive. One of the strong stems failed to show any buds at all, so in desperation yesterday I knocked the rose out of its pot to find that what I had got was a bare rooted rose that had been put into compost and had failed to make any new healthy roots. Effectively I had received an almost dead rose. And I paid the price for a potted rose.
I have been encouraging gardening friends to look beyond David Austin roses. "Look at Beales roses, they have some lovely roses". Never again. Stay away.

Thanks for taking the time to share this and I’m really sorry to hear how disappointing this experience has been, especially as it was intended as a gift.
All of our roses are covered by a one-year guarantee. As they are living plants, establishment can vary, but what you’ve described doesn’t sound right for a potted rose and we’d like to investigate this properly.
We don’t routinely remove roses from their pots prior to dispatch, so we rely on visible top growth at the time of sending. That said, the condition of the roots and overall establishment is clearly important here, and we’d like to review this for you.
If you’re able to, please send photos of the plant (including the roots if possible) along with your order details to support@peterbealesroses.com. Once received, the team can assess the issue and arrange a suitable resolution whether that’s advice, a replacement, or a refund where appropriate.
Good website and filters to find the right rose; high quality plant.
Good website and filters to find the rose I want, even though I'm no expert. Quick delivery, and the rose when it came (in a pot) looked like a really strong, healthy plant. You can get cheaper roses elsewhere, but I'm happy with what I paid - I feel the price reflects the quality and it's a really good plant.

Really pleased the rose arrived in strong condition and is meeting expectations. Price vs quality is always a balancing act, so it’s helpful to hear you feel it’s reflected in the plant you received.
Hope it settles in well and gives you a strong display over the season.

I was a little disappointed when I put it in its container, the soil fell away from the rootball, there wasn’t any stability when I tried to take it out of the pot, it just fell out and all the soil went everywhere.🤔

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry to hear this was your experience.
What you’ve described can sometimes happen, especially if the compost has dried out a little in transit, which can cause it to loosen around the rootball. It won’t harm the rose itself, but we completely understand it’s not ideal when planting.
Once planted and watered in well, the roots should settle and establish nicely. However, if you have any concerns at all as it develops, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us

Roger assisted me in selecting the best rose to grow in a pot, gave me all the information I needed to look after the rose a Blue Moon and all with a great deal of patience (my plant knowledge is minimal).

Thanks.

Prompt delivery and well packed in a sturdy box. A long cane inserted into the plant pot protected the stems from any potential damage. Pot compost was dry , needing to be watered immediately. No sign of growth apart from a few emerging buds. This rose needs tender loving care to ensure it develops into a good specimen

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We’re really pleased to hear the rose arrived promptly and well protected – we take great care with our packaging to ensure plants reach you safely. We appreciate your note regarding the compost being dry; this can occasionally happen in transit, and giving it a thorough watering on arrival is exactly the right approach.
At this time of year, it’s quite normal for roses to show minimal growth, with just a few buds beginning to emerge. With a little care, regular watering, and the warmer conditions ahead, it should establish well and put on strong growth.

The two roses were a great price and delivery was just as prompt as promised. I was disappointed though when I opened the box to find that a lot of the compost/mulch had fallen out of the two pots and a bottle of rose tonic that was part of my order was lying on top of both roses and had damaged them, with branches and growing tips snapped off both plants. So I deduce they were not couriered standing up as the box instructs! I emailed the company who apologised and just said plant them out and prune them lightly and if they don't survive there is a year's guarantee. So we shall see and hope they survive.

Thank you for your feedback, and we’re really pleased to hear you were happy with the price and prompt delivery.
We’re very sorry to hear about the condition your roses arrived in. It does sound like the parcel may not have been handled upright during transit, and we completely understand how disappointing it is to find damage like this on arrival.
The advice given to plant and lightly prune is the right approach, as roses are resilient and often recover well from this type of setback. That said, we absolutely stand by the quality of our plants, and as mentioned, all of our roses are covered by a 1-year guarantee.
Please do keep an eye on them as they establish, and if you have any concerns at all or they don’t thrive as expected, don’t hesitate to get back in touch

That’s a solid mix of varieties, and great to hear they’re all establishing well in the garden. Once they’ve settled in, you should get a good spread of colour and flowering through the season.
