About The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl)

Step into a world of poetic beauty with 'The Poet's Wife' (Auswhirl), a David Austin rose that enchants the senses. Its round, lushly filled flowers open in a radiant, intense lemon yellow shade that subtly fades at the edges, like a soft brushstroke on a canvas. The heart of the flower reveals an informal, almost glowing cluster of inner petals, adding depth and playfulness. What truly makes this rose unique is its unparalleled fragrance: an ultra-rich lemon scent that grows stronger and sweeter as the flower matures. In perfect harmony with its glossy dark green leaves, it forms a sparkling centerpiece in any garden.

'The Poet's Wife' excels with its compact growth and excellent winter hardiness, making it an ideal choice for the front of borders, charming cottage gardens, or even as a solitary plant in smaller spaces. It can also be beautifully trained as a small climbing rose, for example against a low wall or fence, where its repeat-flowering nature treats you to an abundance of fragrant blooms from June well into October. A versatile beauty that adapts to your garden dreams.

At Belle Époque Rose Nursery, a family business with over 40 years of passion and craftsmanship in Aalsmeer, you buy 'The Poet's Wife' directly from the grower. We cultivate our David Austin roses with the utmost care and expertise, focusing on sustainability and top quality. Experience the unparalleled charm and enchanting lemon fragrance of this special English rose, straight from the hands of the rose experts who lovingly raised it.

Care & Plants
Plant bare-root roses between October and April, as long as the ground is not frozen. Container-grown roses can be planted all year round. Choose a sunny spot with nutrient-rich, well-draining soil, dig a spacious planting hole, and make sure the graft union is just below the soil surface. Water generously after planting.
Prune 'The Poet's Wife' in early spring, after the last frost, by removing dead or weak branches and shortening the remaining branches by about one-third. Regularly cut off faded flowers throughout the season to encourage the formation of new flower buds and extend the blooming period.
Water regularly during dry periods, especially in the first year after planting. Fertilize in early spring and again in summer with a special rose fertilizer. A layer of mulch around the base helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

"The rose is well packaged and looks beautiful. Fast delivery, and the personal advice via email was very valuable — I wasn’t sure where to plant it."
