Choosing a favourite rose at Chelsea is like trying to narrow down your all-time favourite footballer - a tough ask because there are so many to choose from.
For me, the one that caught my eye this year was a new introduction from Peter Beales Roses. Rosa 'Notre Dame De Calais' is a stunning creamy white variety that can be used as a small climbing rose or scrambler.
The blooms are semi-double and scented. Watch the thorns though - it inherits these from parent 'Maigold' - so is ideal to use as an intruder deterrent in less secure parts of the garden.
The rose is destined to adorn the grounds of its namesake, the recently refurbished Church Of The Notre Dame, in Calais.
