Rose The Poet's Wife is a repeat flowering shrub rose with rich yellow blooms that soften in tone as they mature. Each flower has a tidy outer ring of petals that surrounds a relaxed centre which gives the bloom a warm layered look. The scent is strong with a clear lemon note that deepens as the flowers age. This variety forms a rounded bushy plant with arching branches and glossy foliage and grows well in sun or partial shade in soil that stays moist yet drains freely. It brings steady colour and fragrance to borders and larger containers through the season.
