Both are lovely, but doesn’t look like the same one, though.

Mine is such a baby, Lek Arun. If you look at HMF roses, the photos can vary with different light conditions and growing conditions. I did think mine above might be Prairie Joy.

When I grew Prairie Dawn in Alaska it's color was more saturated darker warm pink and blooms are less cupped. Prairie Joy has cupped blooms.

I like your picture. Do you think it would survive my hot and dry heat?

Lek Arun, these Canadians are notable for cold hardiness, but I am amazed how well they handle hot and dry here. We have 14-21 days here each Summer of 100 F or over. The rugosas too do very well here. I guess they are very adaptable. I am wondering how large they will get here.

Thank you, Sheila. I was avoid all the roses listed with Canadian breeders. I thought they probably would not make it in my climate.

Your photo, above, Sheila, reminds me of Ben’s young Savannah photo from the last year or so. Impressive.

Your suspected Prairie Joy rivals it for bloom density. “Packed” (which I guess is a version of the stable genius’ “stacked“ description of his older brother’s daughter - at least according to the pre-release review I listened to last night).

I recollect that later he (Ben) expressed displeasure with his.

L Clark is in z4, so that informs my guesses. I grew many Canadians when I lived in Alaska for 33 years. Today my Prairie Joy is gearing up for another flush. If this is Prairie Joy I will know for sure over the next couple of years.

This is the same plant as my photo above.

rifis, sounds like quite a book.

Sheila- to me, yours looks identical to the one I posted

Yes, L Clark, it really does. It will be interesting to see them develop. Prairie Dawn was really great in Alaska too, but Prairie Joy seemed overall to have better ratings on HMF roses.

Yes, Sheila, it does. And just to be clear: When I wrote that Ben recently “expressed displeasure with his”, I was referring to his Savannah. Not his niece.
