The Poet's Wife (Auswhirl) (standard form)

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 blend of shape and depth. What truly makes this rose special is its rich lemon scent – fresh, sweet, and growing stronger as the flower ages. The glossy dark green leaves form the perfect backdrop for this sunny beauty.

Roses in pots

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 directly in the garden or in a larger pot, without having to wait for root growth. This makes the potted rose ideal for planting throughout the year, especially from May through October.

Roses with bare roots

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

At Belle Epoque we supply bare-root roses from November through April. Thanks to the well-developed root system and the right planting conditions, these roses grow vigorously into healthy and bloom-rich bushes or climbing roses.

Products are shipped directly from the nursery every Monday and Wednesday. By delivering only twice a week, we reduce logistical emissions and optimise our processes. This benefits both the quality of our products and the climate.
