The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) has teamed up with award-winning grower Peter Beales Roses to unveil ‘With Courage’ to celebrate 200 years of saving lives at sea. Image credit: Chris Taylor Peter Beales Nursery Manager, Ian Limmer, whose grandfather volunteered at Sheringham Lifeboat Station, Norfolk, for 30 years, has overseen the breeding of the orange rose which has been named ‘With Courage’ by the charity’s supporters. The name pays homage to one of the RNLI’s key values and the founder Sir William Hillary’s famous words ‘With Courage, nothing is impossible’. The floribunda rose will form part of Peter Beales’ display at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, starting on Tuesday 21 May and will be flanked by a D class lifeboat. Supporters will be able to buy the flower from Peter Beales’ website, with 20% of proceeds going to the RNLI to help fund crew kit and training as well as the overall running of the lifesaving service. Peter Beales has gifted 250 roses to the charity which have been planted at locations across the organisation including the National Arboretum, the grave of Grace Darling, who risked her life to rescue the stranded survivors of the wrecked steamship Forfarshire in 1838, and several lifeboat stations around the coast. Planting 25 of the roses outside the RNLI College in Poole, Dorset, was Peter Read, of Stewarts Garden Centre, who himself was rescued by Littlehampton RNLI when his diving boat started to sink in 2005.
