Bred by Henry H. Marshall (Canada, 1973).

Hybrid Spinosissima.

USDA zone 3b and warmer.  Very hardy.  

J 5 has large semi-double, orange-red blossoms that usually appear in clusters of three... it is very hardy. RSM J5 was never officially released as a cultivar by Agriculture Canada, nor was it officially named--the name 'Prairie Magic' was assigned by Paul Olsen.
