David Austin Rose 'The Poet's Wife' 6ltr

Rose 'The Poet's Wife' bears rich yellow flowers, which pale over time. Their formation is most pleasing, having a neat outer ring of petals enclosing an informal group of petals within.

There is a strong, wonderfully rich fragrance with a hint of lemon, which becomes sweeter and stronger with age. It forms a bushy, nicely rounded shrub with arching branches and rather shiny foliage.

Please note that all our plants come in simple plastic pots unless otherwise stated in the product name. If you wish to pot yours up we do have a wide range of pots to choose from.

How to Plant in Pot:
- Step 1: Place small stones to cover the base of your pot to about 2” (5cm) to aid drainage
- Step 2: Hold your plant in the pot and see where the roots reach down to. You will want to cover all of the roots with compost
- Step 3: Remove the rose and fill with compost to this level
- Step 4: Place the plant back in the centre of the pot and add compost around the plant covering the roots. Aim to have the top of the roots about two inches below the top of your pot
- Step 5: Water well with about 5 litres of water

Aside from times of extreme weather, roses can be planted at any time during the year.
