The Poet's Wife
Comments (1)How kind of you to post that. For one reason or another I have passed on all of Austin's yellows. I am very interested in this one....See MoreFound The Poet's Wife & Olivia at my local Greenhouse.
Comments (14)Sultry Jasmine: I feel so lucky to have such a great Greenhouse close by, especially one that is family owned. I love going there & feeling like the dollars I spend stay in our community which, believe me, is a pretty chunk of change when it's all said and done. Everyone who's asked about fragrance: they are both fragrant, but it was hard to tell how much so yesterday because everything was so wet from all thera rain we had off & on. As some of these buds open I'll come back and comment about the fragrance. One thing I can tell about them though is that TPW's fragrance reminds me of Golden Celebration's fragrance.. Sort of fruity & crisp & very yummy. Olivia had more of a floral musk, but again hard to say how strong yet. Marlorena, this is something I've never come across before, "mona lavender", i don't think it is actually in the "lavender" plant family though. I know it is an annual plant in my zone & the sweet lady I met in the aisle where they were being displayed told me that she grew several of them in pots on her porch last summer, they only received indirect light & they bloomed all summer long. I snagged up 2 of them to put on my porch under the same conditions. They don't have a fragrance, but I love the flower color & the foliage, they feel very exotic. Here is the tag: excuse my dirty pot, I just transplanted it! Jessica...See MoreEvelyn, The Poet's Wife, and William Shakespears 2000
Comments (28)Jin, I have no clue about Lady Megginch but she is gorgeous! I do remember you saying you were growing her which has inspired me to try it (guniea pig thing again Haha!). It would be gorgeous if she climbs like Evelyn! You might be able to peg her on a fence or wrap her on a obelisk getting her horizontal as possible. I have some Evelyns on Doc Huey that I got from the DA website. I would really like to get some grafted onto Fortuniana. I think SoFL Rose has a large Evelyn grafted onto Fort that climbs and does well for her.. I have found my Fort grafted roses to be more black spot resistant as well as more vigorous. Miss Diva, Evelyn definitely gets black spot here. She is a shameless hussy who drops all her clothes (leaves) and pouts :/ My Evelyns, I just tied to a 10ft wide sections of wire fence that is held up bt T posts, trying to get branches horizontal as possible. I wanted to try 'espaliering' some roses and thats the only way to do it in the Sunny areas of the yard because our fenced section of the property is in shade! Lala, your Evelyn is gorgeous. She looks like a dessert!...See MoreThe Poet's Wife - 2019 - Zone 8B
Comments (8)Such a sunny beauty. Videos show it so much better than photos. I love all the birds chirping in the background. You must have lots of birds where you live. TPW does pretty well here. It gets a little black spot during the hot & rainy summer but bounces back quickly. It is a good bloomer....See More- 8 years agolast modified: 8 years ago
