the poet’s wife online

strong fragrance! the poet’s wife is a fantastic rose with flowers of intense yellow. she has a beautifully cupped form with a neat outer ring of petals enclosing an informal group of petals within that exude a rich, lemon fragrance that becomes stronger with age. the poet’s wife forms a naturally arching shrub that is perfect for use in a traditional rose border or for blending with other plants in a mixed border. we recommend her also for cutting gardens and pots. expect her to grow to about 4’ by 4’.
