Notting Hill garden rose plant large flower bush deciduous shrub

Run your fingers along the arching canes of Notting Hill and you’ll understand immediately why florists seek out this variety — those generously petaled blooms carry real presence, the kind that transforms a backyard cutting garden into something genuinely useful and beautiful.

This garden rose thrives in full sun and appreciates consistent, frequent watering to fuel its repeat flowering from spring through fall. Feed it rabbit or composted chicken and horse manure each spring and fall, and it rewards you with vase-ready stems that hold strong for up to 10 days after cutting. Hardiness zones 5–11 make this an adaptable choice for most Pacific Northwest gardens and well beyond. Your plant arrives 2–3 years old, already bloomed, and currently standing 9–24 inches — established enough to settle in and perform without a long wait.

Notting Hill is non-toxic and self-fertile, though it genuinely welcomes bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. No invasive tendencies, just a well-mannered, productive shrub rose worth growing.
