Trandafirii la rădăcină nudă trebuie scoși din câmp doar după ce au intrat în repaus vegetativ, s-au maturizat și sunt pregătiți pentru iarnă.
Dacă sunt scoși prea devreme, plantele sunt supuse unui stres inutil, iar lăstarii nu au timp să se maturizeze și să se „lemnifice”.
La sfârșitul toamnei, odată cu scăderea temperaturilor, creșterea încetinește, frunzele cad, iar lăstarii se lignifică – adică se maturizează și se „lemnifică”. Astfel, trandafirii intră în iarnă bine pregătiți pentru temperaturile scăzute.
Nu forțăm sezonul doar pentru a livra mai devreme. Așteptăm momentul potrivit din ciclul natural al plantei, astfel încât clientul să primească un trandafir bine maturizat, viguros și pregătit pentru iarnă.
Dar nu vor îngheța peste iarnă?
Tocmai de aceea îi scoatem din câmp după maturizarea lăstarilor, astfel încât trandafirii să fie bine pregătiți pentru iarnă.
Famous Roses oferă 180 de zile garanție la prindere pentru trandafirii la rădăcină nudă.
The Poet's Wife is an English rose created by David Austin, known for its large, rich yellow blooms that gradually open to lighter shades, and for its strong, fruity fragrance with fresh notes of lemon.
It forms a rich and beautifully rounded shrub, with glossy foliage and repeat flowering. The flowers combine a neat outer circle of petals with a looser center, giving them a natural and easily recognizable look.
Choose The Poet's Wife if you want a yellow rose with a strong fragrance, large blooms, and a color that transforms beautifully as each flower matures.
The story of the variety and its name →
David Austin introduced The Poet's Wife in 2014. The name is not officially presented as a dedication to a specific person, which leaves enough room for the imagination.
Perhaps it is the poet who finds the words, but his wife is the one who brings light, fragrance, and things that do not need long explanations to be felt into the garden. The Poet's Wife seems built precisely around this balance: a luminous flower, with an orderly shape on the outside and a looser, more spontaneous center.
When family or friends come into the garden, the yellow of the flowers can be seen from a distance. Up close, the conversation changes: the unusual shape of the petals appears, followed by the rich, fruity fragrance, in which the freshness of lemon can be sensed.
It is a rose that does not remain unchanged from opening until the flower fades. The intense yellow gradually brightens, and flowers at different stages can appear on the same shrub, each with its own shade.

Color is one of the important differentiators of the variety. The flowers start in a rich yellow and gradually become brighter, so the shrub can feature both intensely colored buds and flowers that have reached more delicate shades at the same time.
The flowers are large and have a distinct construction. A neat outer circle of petals surrounds a looser center, with petals arranged informally. The result maintains the elegance of English roses without each flower appearing rigid or perfectly symmetrical.
The fragrance is strong, rich, and fruity, with a fresh hint of lemon. It is one of those varieties that is worth planting in a frequented spot, where being close to the flowers allows you to discover the scent every time you pass through the garden.
Repeat flowering brings the blooms back in several flushes throughout the season. After the first flush, other buds appear, and the yellow returns to the garden alongside the strong fragrance of the new flowers.
David Austin highlights the balance between the yellow flowers, the rich fragrance, and the beautifully rounded shape of the plant. The glossy foliage complements the flowers and gives the shrub a tidy appearance even between flowering flushes.
Famous Roses recommends The Poet's Wife to those who want a yellow rose with large blooms, strong fragrance, and a warm, luminous presence, suitable for a part of the garden that you see and frequent day by day.
It is not the right choice if you want every flower to keep the same intense shade until the end. The gradual fading of the yellow is a natural characteristic of the variety and is part of how its flowers evolve.

Plant The Poet's Wife in a spot where the color and fragrance can be easily discovered: by a walkway, near the entrance, close to the terrace, or near an area where you usually spend time.
In a place visible from a window or terrace, you can watch the transformation of the flowers from the rich yellow of opening to the lighter shades they take on as they mature.
The rich, rounded shrub fits into a mixed border, where it can bring light among plants with white, blue, purple, or maroon flowers. The green and glossy foliage provides a clear backdrop for the yellow of the flowers.
So that the strong fragrance does not remain in a rarely visited part of the garden, choose a spot you pass by often. This way, The Poet's Wife will not just be a splash of color seen from a distance, but a rose you discover up close, flower by flower.
