Prairie Harvest
(Buck, 1985) – pale yellow (the forum member who recommended it calls it "limestone yellow"). Any rose that has got
Sunsprite as a parent has got to be good, and this one does. The fragrance is described as moderate but what makes
it remarkable is the consistency. Praire Harvest’s fragrance is detectable morning, noon, and night. Trust me that is rare
(many roses loose their scent by midday). The repeat bloom is described as generous. The scent is also highly unusual
and smells like Freesias, a trait it inherited from its Sunsprite parent. Blooms are large, urn shaped, and appear singly on
long cutting stems. Growth habit is upright and dense like a medium tall Floribunda. Being a Buck rose exceptional
disease resistance is to be expected and it is suitable for no spray gardens. Winter hardy to zone 4b. Recommended by
