..and almost certainly bred from the Boerner 1949 rose 'Aloha' rather than the Kordes climber, which is virtually unknown here, although Beales may have offered it for a short time under the name 'Aloha Hawaii'.. I recall seeing it.. I feel sure Miss Beales would have noted the distinction..
..the photos and description seem to indicate this as well..

Thank you. Modified parentage and note accordingly. We had Boerner's 'Aloha' as parent for some other cultivars of Amanda Beales, too.

Weavers Way appears in the 2015 and 2016 Peter Beales’ catalogues.
Catalogue description is the same in both:
“Weavers Way – (Modern Shrub)
A shapely, free flowering rose made up of a subtle mixture of soft pink and salmon. Strong fragrance. Named to mark the achievement of the late Heleneia Brierley who walked the length of Weavers’ Way footpath in Norfolk for Cancer Research whilst in remission from the illness.
Beales 2009 (90 x 60 cm) 3’ x 2’ ”
The symbols at the bottom of the description indicate that the rose is
- Repeat flowering
- Suitable for growing in a tub or pot
- Tolerant of poorer soil
- Fragrance score of 8 (out of 10 indicating it is strongly fragrant)
- Unique to Peter Beales Roses in the UK
Weavers’ Way Public Path is a 62 mile (100 Km) footpath from Cromer to Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England
The rose was released at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2009 (Source : Great Yarmouth Mercury 14/5/2009).
The article confirms that the breeder was Amanda Beales and the rose was a cross between Aloha and Norwich Castle.
