Very floriferous and sweetly fragrant, Rosa Secret is a truly enchanting Hybrid Tea rose with very large, up to 5 in. across (12 cm), very full (30-35 petals), exhibition quality flowers, a blend of creamy yellow suffused with pink. Rich with a strong, spicy fragrance, the blossoms are borne mostly solitary on almost thornless stems and bloom profusely in flushes from spring to fall. Very vigorous, this rose has a wonderful, bushy growth habit with a lush foliage of leathery, dark green leaves that is extremely healthy. The foliage is a perfect setting for the flowers. Heat and shade tolerant. Excellent disease resistance.

  • 1994 All-America Rose Selection – the most prestigious rose award in the USA
  • Grows up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) with a 2-3 ft. spread (60-90 cm).
  • An excellent choice for beds, borders, flowering hedges, or containers. Stunning when mass-planted. Excellent cut flowers.
  • Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerant of poor soil and shade.
  • Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer.
  • Bred by Daniel Tracy (United States, before 1992).
