Rose Type: English Rose
The Poet's Wife is a richly colored English Rose with large, full blooms in a warm golden yellow that gradually softens as the flowers mature. Each bloom carries approximately 77 petals, arranged with a neat outer ring surrounding a looser, more informal center for a beautifully relaxed rosette form. The flowers reach about 3½–5 inches across and stand out against the plant’s slightly glossy foliage.
Its fragrance is strong and fruity with a distinct lemon character that becomes sweeter and more pronounced as the flowers age. The Poet's Wife forms a bushy, rounded shrub with gently arching branches, growing approximately 3–4 feet tall and 2–4 feet wide. Strong disease resistance, repeat flowering, and suitability for both full sun and partial shade make it a versatile choice for borders, containers, cutting, and mixed garden plantings.
