Rose of the Month - Secret

 

Hybridizer - Daniel Tracy/E.G. Hill Co., 1992

 

This exhibition quality pink blend Hybrid Tea is a winner of the All-America Rose Selections Award in 1994, Portland Best Rose in 1998 and the Gamble Fragrance Award in 2003.  It is white with raspberry pink edges and is both excellent on the show table and garden display.  It is a medium, moderately thorny, bushy plant with an upright habit, semi-glossy dark green leaves on long stems and produces lots of large high-centered blooms 4 to 6 inches across.  It grows 3 to 5 ft tall and 2 to 3 ft across.  Blooms come on single stem or in clusters of three or four.  Blooms are double (30 to 40 petals) and tend to get larger in cool weather. 

            Secret is a generous performer giving blooms from late spring to early summer and repeats through to fall.   It can be used in beds and borders and if you need lots of fragrant blooms to share with others, plant Secret in the cutting garden in threes so the plants look bushier.   It has a strong, spicy fragrance.  It is winter hardy and has good disease resistance.  Who says modern hybrid tea does not have any fragrance?  Secret can perfume a room with just one bloom.

It's beautiful.  Like a little reminder that spring will be here soon as we fight through the snow.

Faina - I'm tired of the snow already.  I can't wait for spring so I can garden.

Rosalinda, I just started growing roses a couple of year ago. Still have a lot to learn but it's so nice having them in the house during the summer months.

Connie - I started growing roses when we moved to the suburb in 1971 with five rose bushes and the garden just grew and grew.  It's a great therapy for me after a long day's work.

I wish we had roses like that in our garden. Thanks for the information.

 The colors of winter in Maryland. Life is good!

Melanie - It is a great rose for the garden and for the vase.  Sometimes a rose can be so beautiful but no fragrance.  Secret has both.
