The Poet’s Wife (‘Auswhirl’)

Height x Spread 1.1m x 1.1m

Position Full sun or partial shade

Flowering time Early summer-early autumn (repeat)

Fragrance Strong

The Poet’s Wife forms a nicely rounded mound of arching stems clothed in clusters of rich, yellow, fully double blooms. The flowers are produced almost continually over a long period and are complemented by the shiny green foliage, which has good disease resistance.

HOW TO GROW

This rose does well in partially shaded areas so is ideal for growing in a large pot in a courtyard garden within an area that gets sun for only part of the day. Plant in rich, moist, free-draining soil.

A rich, fruity fragrance with a hint of sweet lemon perfectly matches the yellow colouring of The Poet’s Wife.
