Notes
'Secret' rose (Rosa 'Secret') is a shrub for borders, cut flowers, cottage gardens, and containers. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist soil of most types. The fragrant blooms open yellow with a pink edge and turn pink as they open fully. Bees and butterflies visit them. Daniel Tracy bred it in 1994.
Pairs well with Golden Tiara hosta, Smoketree, and Casa Blanca lily.
