The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl) at a glance
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.
