Simon was a Garden Centre Sales Manager at Peter Beales Roses in Attleborough, Norfolk until he recently retired. He worked there from 1981 alongside the late Peter Beales from whom he gained all his knowledge and was involved in most of the Nursery’s gold medal displays at Chelsea Flower Show. He is the Vice Chairman of the Norfolk & Norwich Horticultural Society, a holder of the RHS Long Service Award to Horticulture and a judge for Anglia in Bloom.

He has a fantastic breadth and depth of knowledge about roses which he would now like to share with others.

Simon will be bringing along some plants and sundries to purchase.
