The following is a list of the Parkland roses. A scientist listing these plants would almost certainly list them in an unbiased, chronological order by year of introduction. Since gardeners are permitted and expected to express opinions, I've listed them in order from my most to least favourite. These judgements are based upon their performance in my own and various other prairie gardens. In one season, canes may reach 5 feet.
Flowers are medium pink with light fragrance.
Bushes are virtually covered with blooms in June. They continue to flower at a decreased rate until frost, if developing hips are removed. Plants are disease resistant and easily grown from cuttings. Flowers are semi-double, medium red with a very slight fragrance. Plants have moderate resistance to blackspot and grow easily from cuttings.
