A Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit winner, David Austin Malvern Hills is a charming English Rambling Rose that produces soft yellow, fully double blooms that appear in large clusters.
These blooms produce an uplifting musk fragrance and grow on sturdy stems that are easy to train along large structures. The stems carry very few thorns and produce beautiful shiny green foliage.
Grow your Malvern Hills rambling rose through a large arch, along a pergola, wall, or fence or train it around your front door, to create stunningly beautiful garden displays. This repeat flowering rambling rose produces a long-lasting floral display and grows a good crop of hips for additional interest to enjoy in the winter months.
Bred by David Austin and introduced in 2000, this rose is named after the hills below the David Austin Nursery, which have been designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

How to care for your rose
When planting your rose apply a sprinkling of David Austin Mycorrhizal Fungi around the base to help the roots establish and encourage good plant health. We also recommend regularly feeding with rose food, once in late March or early April and again in July. Whilst this rose is in flower, deadhead the spent blooms to encourage new bud growth.
