Deep secret is fertile as both a seed parent and a pollen parent. In my garden it grows 6 feet high and 5 feet wide. Thorny, foliage is sparse, fragrance is great, requires spraying.

This is a lovely dark red rose that is unfortunately armed to the teeth! When I first received it as a band it didn't have many thorns, so when I saw the new, 1" thick cane it was putting out I was very concerned about RRV due to the sheer number of sharp thorns it had. It turns out it wasn't infected, but that this rose naturally has a ton of thorns. You have been warned!

Other than the thorns I would definitely keep this rose. It has a wonderful scent and it blooms well. My bush receives direct sunlight all day every day and the bloom color consistently remained a lovely unbleached deep red. It did get blackspot, though only for about a month and when fall arrived it dropped its remaining leaves and grew new ones which were then not affected. All in all this is a nice dark red rose that will be sure to please many people...just not people like me who can't have a rose bush with so many thorns.

The blooms don't last long on the bush during hot weather but the color holds up better than I thought it would. The sent is good and no blackspot problems so far. I am looking forward to see how the blooms do in the cooler weather.
