Rosa The Poet's Wife®
£33.00
notes
We love Rosa The Poet’s Wife (Auswhirl) for its strong, fruity fragrance which intensifies over time, becoming sweeter and stronger. Bred by David Austin, the shrub rose bears yellow flowers, consisting of rings of petals enclosing further petals, producing a wonderful rippled effect against the shiny foliage. This results in a very pretty fragrant flower, lovely for cutting. Image courtesy of David Austin Roses.
Please note, our roses are available to purchase all year round, so depending on the time of year your rose may either arrive in bloom or have been pruned or deadheaded appropriately for the season.
