Secret rose

The 'Secret' rose is one of the most beloved Hybrid Teas of the 1990's specifically prized for its delicate color transition and "room-filling" fragrance. It is often described as the "perfect" rose for a cutting garden because of its high-centered exhibition form and nearly thornless stems. Color Profile: It features a creamy yellow-white center that is edged with a soft rich pink. The pink intensity often deepens with more sunlight and cooler temperatures. Fragrance: It is famous for a strong, spicy-sweet perfume that is often compared to a blend of fruit and traditional rose. Thorns: One of its most distinctive features is that it is nearly thornless, which make it a dream for florists. Bloom Shape: Classic high-centered buds (about 4.75-5 inches across) with 30-35 petals that opens into a full, cupped shape. Breeder: Daniel Tracy in the US before 1992. Award winning rose for its vigor and reliability across various climates. Hardiness: USDA zones 5-9, requires winter protection for the bud union in zone 5. Disease Resistance: Excellent, dark leathery foliage. Bare Root Budded 2-yr rose, Grade #1, the highest retail grade for roses.
