The only native climbing rose in North America and the only member of the synstylae group found wild in the U.S., the ‘Prairie Rose’ has quite a list of distinctions. The arching stems are thornless and do not sucker, but will root readily when touching the ground. The single, bright pink flowers appear very late in spring or even early summer when other wild roses have finished blooming. This trait can extend the flowering period of the wild garden. This rose is especially cold hardy, tough, and disease resistant, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance plantings. There is some controversy about the fragrance, or lack of it. Ellen Willmott called the flowers "deficient in scent". However, Graham Stuart Thomas, in Shrub Roses of Today, says they are "very fragrant in spite of numerous statements to the contrary."

We ship from September to May. At checkout on our website, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step! We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses. We are in Texas and in December the weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit, but are extremely mild compared to the northern United States. We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant. Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
