More information
Unlike most English pleached roses, this variety attains a minimum height of 3.6 metres and can grow significantly taller. It is classified as a repeat-flowering rambler; few such varieties are currently available. Blooms are approximately 5 cm across and borne in small to medium clusters. The colour starts creamy, later becoming pale yellow; the flowers are rosette-shaped with a button eye. Fragrance is musk. Unlike most English roses, Malvern Hills is unsuitable for bush cultivation. Shoots are robust yet pliable, with smooth, glossy foliage. Suited for covering arches and trellises. It can be trained to thread through a shrub or small tree. Disease resistance is near-complete. In the second half of summer, it produces long, flexible canes with flowers arising from each bud. Overall, flowering is less profuse, as considerable energy is required to form such a large bush.
