I planted The Poet's Wife earlier this summer and it is quickly becoming one of my favorite plants in my entire garden! The fragrance is exceptionally strong and heavenly on this one-- very strong lemon notes with a touch of old rose. I find myself stopping to smell it multiple times a day! It is still a small plant, considering I only planted it about 2 months ago, but it puts out buds over and over. The blooms are a deep, vibrant yellow for about 2 days before they fade to more of a buttercream color, but I enjoy to color contrast between the new and the old together. I look forward to watching this girl get to her full size!

Mine is still small even though it's in its third season (it's own root and in a large container), but it blooms a lot and always has a nice fragrance.
How's it doing for you this season? Is yours grafted or own root?
