'Prairie Joy' rose Reviews & Comments
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

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.
