I"m trying to decide whether to leave my Secret
rose in its current full-sun location, or move it to a partial-shade location with about 3-4 hours per day of afternoon sun. I"ve read that Secret prefers cooler climates, or partial shade in hot climates. (My area has hot, dry summers –
zone 9). I"ve read conflicting things about where to
plant Secret; one person said his Secret does great in an eastern-exposure partial-shade spot, while another person said her Secret was gangly and had fewer blooms when in a partial-shade spot.
I"d like to hear other experiences with regard to how your Secret
roses do in full sun or partial shade (including what your climate is), and what you would recommend. Thanks.
