Personal growing review of English shrub rose ‘The poets wife’ from @david_austin_roses #gardenerben

the poets wife” -(Auswhirl) from david Austin roses this rose is big, bold and beautiful, producing some of the largest blooms within the garden. They are a wonderful Rich , golden yellow and benefit from one of the strongest fragrances currently within the David collections. The poets, wife forms a large and informal shrub, which I let ramble about in a mixed border, popping up here and popping up there, you may need to consider giving this one some support if you want it to conform to a more disciplined structure but in my garden it reaches around 5’ x 5’ with long, arching, graceful stems it has Rich emerald green foliage, and this beauty does come with a sting in her tail as it really is quite thorny Vigourous, healthy and very disease resistant. This is a wonderful addition to a mixed border and the perfect rose to cut and bring into the house where it can be enjoyed up close and personal. Each bloom containing just under 80 petals. through personal experience, I have found this rose does equally well in full sun and in partial shade where it will still flower incredibly well receiving just 4 to 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. In fact, with a little bit of shade, the flower colour can be intensified and be much more golden where in full sun, the colour bleaches slightly to a more sherbet yellow The fragrance is Rich , enticing and fruity with hints of sherbet and citrus At a glance ⬇️ Hardy in zones 5-11 Fragrance rating 9⭐️s disease resistance rating 7⭐️s Petal count 80 Thorn count high Pollinator rating 2🐝s #gardenerben #thepoetswiferose #itsbensfault #organicgardener #englishroses #gardengram #flowersmakemehappy #ecogardener #davidaustinroses #gardenersofinstagram #helpingyougrow #gardenplants #cominguproses #realgardens #davidaustin roseexpert #gaygardener #cottagegarden #rosesofinstagram#flowerstagram #gardenroses
