The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl) (standard form) at a glance
The Rosa ‘The Poet’s Wife’ standard rose is a radiant jewel from the David Austin collection, which with its intensely yellow, fully double flowers immediately brings light and joy to your garden. This English rose enchants with a beautiful color spectrum: the deep yellow buds open into rich, rounded flowers whose outer petals subtly fade to softer shades. What truly makes it unique is the delightful, powerful lemon scent that is fresh and sweet, becoming more intense as the flower matures. A true treat for the senses, surrounded by glossy dark green leaves that perfectly accentuate the sunny flowers.
With an elegant stem height of 90 cm, ‘The Poet’s Wife’ creates a compact, bushy crown that effortlessly adds height and brightness to any outdoor space. It is a stunning eye-catcher in borders, as a solitary plant in a smaller garden, or as an atmospheric addition in a pot on your terrace or balcony. Its repeat-flowering nature, from May well into October, ensures months of an explosion of color and fragrance. Combine it with the purple hues of lavender, fresh white perennials, or soft pink roses for a harmonious and irresistible summer ensemble.
