Determinate. 90 days, dwarf — 'Mallee Rose' is a rugose, regular leaf variety that is a heavy producer of medium-large (five to fourteen ounce), oblate-shaped, pink fruit. The fruit are smooth, slightly ribbed, juicy and meaty with a nice sweet flavor.

Developed by members of the "Dwarf Tomato Project" this variety originated from a cross between 'Rosella Purple' and 'Orange Heirloom. 'Mallee Rose' was first bred by Patrina Nuske Small in 2008 and named "Rosy." The variety is named after an endangered native West Australian Eucalyptus called Rose Mallee. Those who were also involved in its development were Craig LeHoullier, Patrick Sullivan, Rick Hawksworth, and Bill Minkey. Introduced for the 2016 gardening season. Each packet contains approximately 20 seeds.
