Beautifully formed, cupped flowers of strong, unfading yellow. Rich, fruity fragrance. Low, naturally rounded growth.
- Repeat Flowering
- Exceptional Fragrance
- Ideal for pots and containers
- Highly Recommended by David Austin Roses
- Bred by David Austin
- Suitable for zones 5 to 10
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
‘The Poet’s Wife’ is a superb rose with flowers of an unfading, strong yellow. Their formation is most pleasing, having a neat outer ring of petals enclosing an informal group of petals within. There is a rich fragrance with strong lemon tints at first, becoming sweeter and stronger with age.
GROWTH HABIT
It forms a naturally arching shrub, with rather shiny Leander-type foliage. It is perfect for incorporating into a traditional rose border or for blending with other plants in a mixed border.
36" STANDARD TREE ROSE - # 1.5 Grade
Standard Roses are magnificent garden plants. They are created by budding three shrubs on a stem; hence the dramatic effect. We believe English Roses, with their natural, bushy growth and beautiful, fragrant flowers, are the finest roses for growing as standards.
Tree roses are ideal for creating focal points in key areas of the garden and can also be used to line a path, frame a doorway or bring interest to a bare wall. Standards are useful for adding height to a border and look particularly impressive when planted closely together in groups of three or four. It is important to stake standards at planting time, to assist the stem in holding up the bounty of full sized blooms all summer. All are budded at 36" in height.
