Rosa 'Beauty Secret' BEAUTY SECRET MINIATURE ROSE |
|
|
Beauty Secret Rose is covered in petite vibrant red flowers and blooms off and on throughout the growing season. One of famed rose breeder, Ralph Moore's roses (introduced in 1965), Beauty Secret is still around because it is a prolific bloomer that is a true asset to any garden. It can reach three feet in height and about two feet in width over time. Beauty Secret is one of the first roses to pop out with its flowers. In the early spring picture below, it is backed by the twiggy, still dormant, Lemon Verbena. This plant is about ten years old and about three feet tall and wide. It is roughly shaped into a ball once a year with a hedge trimmer. | |||

Like all roses, miniature roses are sun loving and fairly drought resistant. Plant in well drained soil and fertilize with an organic fertilizer in the spring. We prune out dead canes whenever we notice them and shape the plant to the height and width we want in fall. All rose petals are edible if grown organically and make attractive garnishes for salads. They can be added after cooking to almost any dish. Whole buds can be used to decorate cakes or other confections. Sample buds should be pulled apart and inspected for insects before using on food. | |||
