Posted by jathton (Oklahoma City, OK - Zone 7a) on Dec 8, 2019 9:20 AM 'The Poet's Wife' is another in a long line of awesome Roses introduced by David Austin. I say that because, when first introduced to his 'English Roses', I discounted them a bit... thinking English Roses could not possibly do well on the Southern Great Plains. Boy, was I wrong!
