Yes, it's been sold. https://www.edp24.co.uk/news/23607555.attleboroughs-peter-beales-garden-centre-goes-sale/ This one says it's been taken over but requires a trial membership to read. No thanks. https://www.hortweek.com/lincolnshire-nursery-takes-peter-beales-roses/ornamentals/article/1860204 

From the article Ann linked to, it sounds like Bells Horticultural is a fairly large company that bought Beale's. But I couldn't parse their real intent for the future, other than they want to expand the breeding program and "promise a smooth transition" (the famous words that have preceded the impending doom of many a good company ruined by new management, lol). No mention at all about the fate of the historical rose collection.

Ominous, indeed.

With the passing of Amanda Beales (In 2013), this was inevitable. Consider the possibility that without the purchase of the nursery by Bell, it may have dwindled and failed. You never know - it's possible the Bell acquisition will breathe new life (and a new future) into the Beales nursery.

OK, I think I remember this. Did Peter Beales hold the UK / British collection of species roses? I think from a question I asked over at an Ashdown meeting that the collection was just growing along in their hedgerows. If so, it could be extremely valuable for someone to visit and record and publish the collection and how it has matured over time.

Also, again I think I remember, the nursery had an agreement with a nearby farmer who would farm the fields that had grown roses but were let go fallow as they practiced their version of crop rotation. If I remember correctly, that needs to be known and described for future rose growers. IIRC that was their solution to 'rose replant disease".

With the extinction of so many rose groups, even on a national level, we need to make an effort to record some of the things that have been learned but maybe not widely circulated in knowledge.

I just hope I haven't lost or misplaced my catalogs from them (yep, I ordered the catalogs even though I knew I couldn't import the roses.)

IF sufficient sales result from the species roses, they'll continue selling them. If not, it will be like what happened with Heirloom when the Clements rid themselves of the minis and many "historic" roses. Thousands of varieties which resulted in too little financial reward disappeared.

I bought from the Clements back when they had a rich collection of old roses. Such wonders they were! Those roses set me to love once-flowering old roses for a lifetime.

I'm glad I have some uncommon old roses now, for their own sake but also because I know they need homes. If climate change, long Covid, and age don't slow me down too much, I hope in a few years to re-start buying roses. I've been busy for several years now mainly working on the architecture of the garden, i.e., shrubs and sub-shrubs (and trees for shade and coolness, in this age of increasing heat). There's also the heavy uphill battle of getting our terrible soil in condition to grow things.

Beales used to have a fabulous catalogue. A few years ago they cut it back considerably, 'rationalising' it I guess, to the most commercially viable lines. IIRC, many wonderful roses fell off the listing. I haven't been able to bring myself to look at their catalogue since!

I had assumed most of the species and other currently less popular roses would have gone, but from what you guys are saying, it sounds as if they did keep them, perhaps just not listing them for sale?

The internet never forgets. Here's an ad the popped up on a search and it sounds already to ship out. BUT

it's not available

A lot of nurseries will tell you that a particular plant isn't in stock at present and ask for your email so they will contact you when it IS back in stock. This works well and I'm surprised it doesn't seem to have been an option.

Interesting bit towards the bottom of that page

Another rabbit hole to jump down.
