The Poet's Wife® (Auswhirl) is an English shrub rose bred by David Austin which has large golden yellow blooms that pale as the flowers mature. The flowers are fully double with a neat outer ring and ruffled petals at its centre.
This rounded and compact shrub has rich foliage and a lovely, strong fruity scent with lemon notes which get sweeter with maturity. It makes a wonderful cut flower to enjoy in floral displays around the home, adding a burst of sunny yellow hues. It is a wonderful addition to pots and containers or a mixed border and looks particularly striking planted alongside white blooms, for a vibrant and uplifting display.
A repeat flowering rose, its blooms appear in flushes lasting for up to four weeks from late spring through to early winter to create dazzling garden displays.
