The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl)

The Rosa ‘The Poet’s Wife’ standard rose (90 cm) is one of the most radiant English roses from the collection of David Austin. Its intensely yellow, fully double flowers bring light and joy to any garden. As the flower matures, the outer petals subtly fade, creating a beautiful interplay of warm yellow shades.

The flowers are round and full, with a charming mix of shape and depth. What truly makes this rose special is its rich lemon fragrance – fresh, sweet, and increasingly intense as the flower ages. The glossy dark green leaves form the perfect backdrop for this sunny beauty.

Roses in a pot

A potted rose is a rose plant that has already been grown in a pot and is delivered with a well-developed root system. These roses are ready to be planted in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for roots to develop. This makes the potted rose ideal for year-round planting, especially May to October.

Bare root roses

Bare-root roses – also called root roses – are rose plants that are delivered without pots or soil. These roses are dormant and can be planted directly in the ground. The best time to plant a root rose is autumn or early spring, when the soil is still moist and the temperature is mild.
