Does this rose produce hips? The Austin UK website says it does, but the US site does not mention it.

It does have one descendant listed as 'Seedling of Malvern Hills x Penelope'.

This cultivar is listed as diploid in the paper 'Cytogenetics, ploidy, and genome sizes of rose (Rosa spp.) cultivars and breeding lines'.
"Ploidy determination by counting chromosomes of metaphase cells of seven rose cultivars. Chromosome images of (a) tetraploid Miracle on the Hudson® (2n = 4x = 28), (b) tetraploid Home Run™ (2n = 4x = 28), (c) tetraploid New Zealand (2n = 4x = 28), (d) tetraploid Sunshine Daydream (2n = 4x = 28), (e) triploid 'Dr. Huey' (2n = 3x = 21), (f) tetraploid Knockout® (2n = 4x = 28), and (g) diploid Malvern Hills® (2n = 2x = 14). Bars = 10 μM."

Judging from the pictures, this rose has some serious fading issues. One of the reasons 'Sunflare' remains my favorite yellow rose is that its color remains beautiful throughout the life of the bloom. I am also fond of 'Graham Thomas', but what a water hog. Winter irrigation absolutely required in dry climates.

In my Arizona garden (USDA zone 7b), Malvern Hills has been rather slow to establish. It's entering its sixth growing season and is finally more than six feet high. It would appear that this year will be its first year to demonstrate some of that noisette tendency to make great umbels of blossoms. Still, it is far short of the show put on by the three year old Blush Noisettes 20 ft to the west.
While I find the softly colored ivory-yellow blossoms quite beautiful, I must say that I am quite attached to the plant for its more subtle qualities. I love the look of its foliage: pointy leaves with a distinct olive tint. I love that although it grows slowly it seems untroubled by any fungal disease. I love that when I prune it the wood seems hard and substantial, as if the rose intends to be a permanent fixture in the garden. And I love that here in the mountains of AZ - where three weeks of 80F weather in spring can be followed by hard frosts - it survives unscathed. (This, btw, is true of most David Austin offerings I have planted. Sadly it's behavior lacking in virtually any hybrid tea rose bred in California, though sometimes found in some Kordes hybrid tea roses.)
In terms of flower size, flower abundance, or fragrance there is no superlative I can attach to this rose, yet its full house of dependable qualities marks it as one of the more cherished roses of the 200+ cultivars in my garden.

It's a year later and the rose has finally begun to hit full stride. This is definitely one of the glories of the garden this year. Although it will require pruning to keep it in bounds, it is a rose with a number of rare and wonderful qualities - certainly in my top twenty.
