Prairie Queen (Queen of the Prairies). S. Feast, 1843. Best of the old Prairie roses, valued for its extreme hardiness. The fairly large, double, rosy red flowers are shapeless and scentless, and although in mild climates it is outclassed in every respect, where the winters are severe it is a dependable and attractive climbing rose.

Hardy Climbing Roses
Queen of the Prairies
This is one of the old-time favorites, a climber of the Prairie Rose group that has been cultivated over a long period of years by an army of Rose worshippers. The blossoms are bright pink, sometimes with white stripes, and are fragrant. Every bloom is globular, very full, double and compact, and they come in showy clusters charmingly arranged- wherever there is room upon the plant for a handful of blossoms. The plant is of hardy growth, and never is abandoned by anyone who has come to know the many qualities of the variety.

It [Rosa setigera] forms fine hybrids with Rosa gallica L., and other species. Among these may be mentioned Queen of the Prairies , a Rose so hardy and of such easy culture that it is of great value when wall space has to be covered quickly. This hybrid blooms profusely, and with its ample foliage of tender green it cannot fail to be admired.
