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’.

Perfect cheery yellow

The Poet’s Wife has done well for me in 6b. My two plants are in their first year and have both grown and bloomed multiple times. This is in contrast with Golden Celebration, which is also in its first year and has been pretty inactive so far. I have read that yellow roses can have more difficulty with disease, particularly black spot, but I have not had that problem with this rose in a zone that has constantly high humidity—I have multiple other plants with more of a black spot issue. One thing I love about this rose is that the color of blooms changes markedly depending on the temperature—hot weather softens the color into a pastel yellow while cooler weather brings an almost orange hue! The two photos show the differences by weather.

Amazing! Already a bush!

Planted 3 roses from Heirloom in early May then went away for a week. The deer nibbled on all three (we have deer? News to us!) while we were gone. Now in late July all have bloomed and are happily growing. Poet’s Wife has already bushed out, put on new canes, and currently has 5 fragrant, lovely roses in bloom and lots of buds. Wow!
