The Story Behind the Sir David Beckham Rose
With Sir David Beckham’s birthday this weekend, it feels like the perfect time to share the heartfelt story behind a project that has been quietly blooming at our Shropshire nursery.
While the official debut is still to come, the journey of this new variety began last year when Sir David celebrated his milestone 50th birthday. His daughter, Harper, wanted to give a truly unique gift: a rose that would reflect her father's love for the British countryside and the hours they share together in the family garden.
A Rose with Family at its Heart
Harper’s request was for something enduring. Rather than a gift for the moment, she imagined a rose that would grow alongside their family - returning faithfully season after season and deepening in beauty with every passing year.
We immediately connected with this sentiment. As a family business carried forward through generations, we understand that a rose is more than just a plant; it is a living symbol of continuity and shared memories. It reflects that simple, shared joy of being outdoors and the strength found in family bonds.
Coming Soon to Chelsea
We are honoured to announce that the Sir David Beckham rose will be officially unveiled at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026.
This naming reflects a natural, assured strength and a story of real significance. We look forward to the moment this gift is finally shared with the world, celebrating a father’s milestone and a daughter’s thoughtful tribute.
Hear More from the Nursery
Following its debut, the rose will be available online and at our Plant Centre in Shropshire, where gardeners will be able to discover this special variety for themselves.

The King’s Rose™ (Ausa27a16): Supporting The King’s Foundation’s Vision for the FutureThe story behind The King’s Rose™ began with a simple moment of connection. At the Chelsea Flower Show in the 1990s, David J.C. Austin met His Majesty The King, then The Prince of Wales. During their conversation, they discovered they had both grown Ferdinand Pichard, a distinctive, striped old rose, as the first rose in their gardens. It was a small but meaningful exchange that stayed with David.
