'AUSwhirl'

The Poet’s Wife™ bears large, deeply cupped yellow blooms that mellow to soft butter hues. Each flower releases an intense, layered fragrance of lemon with sweet, fruity undertones. Its romantic form - with a tidy outer ring enclosing informal inner petals - adds charm to beds, cutting gardens, or partially shaded areas. This Austin rose combines vibrant color, old-fashioned form, and enduring scent.

More About The Poet's Wife™

The Poet’s Wife™ opens from bulbous, bright yellow buds into large, deeply cupped blooms of rich yellow with lighter outer petals. As the very double flowers mature, they form gently cupped, old-fashioned blooms with scalloped edges, the color softening to buttery tones. Richly fragrant, with a lemon perfume that develops sweet, fruity depth, these blooms bring vibrant color and exceptional scent to the garden.
Growing Details

The Poet's Wife™ forms a bushy shrub with gently arching stems reaching 4' × 4', thriving in CA Zones 5-6+ | USDA 4-5+ and beyond. Clad in small, dark, leathery foliage with a semi-glossy finish, this continuous blooming rose adapts beautifully to both full sun and partial shade.
