If the pole is owned by the power company, it's out.
If you have a metal roof, the attic is out.
A tree is not a good idea, foliage will block signals, especially UHF and higher frequencies. Plus the growth of the tree will constantly be encroaching on the antenna and mount, and there is no NEC-approved way to ground a tree.
Roof mount is not recommended because you'll eventually get leaks around the mounting bolts.
The pole next to the house is your best bet. Tell your wife it's for the cable TV antenna.
