'Prairie Joy' rose Reviews & Comments

Most 'Prairie Princess' seedlings have a lanky growth habit like its parent, but the one that became 'Prairie Joy' apparently was an exception in a row of them. This cultivar is very attractive because the pink colour of the flowers contrasts well with the dark green foliage.

Northwestern Ontario, Canada, USDA Zone 2
I have had Prairie Joy for about 8 years now - disease free, totally hardy without winter protection - some of the tips get damaged but my thought is that they were too young yet going into winter - this rose doesn't stop producing new growth until hard frosts.
I've been getting a good flush by end of June, and some repeat, but this past summer Prairie Joy bloomed non stop in clusters until frost.

I agree. Prairie Joy is one of the best zone 2/3 roses. It kills back to the snow line here (Alberta, Canada) but blooms abundantly on new wood and is disease free.
