Although introduced as a hedge rose, it is also suitable for garden plantings. Flowers are fairly large, densely double, in the old rose style with a button center, deep pink fading to a delicate pink. They appear singly or in clusters of up to 6; afterwards small orange hips form. The shrub is strong, well-branched, and densely leafed. The variety is disease-resistant. It grows quickly, sending up successive new robust basal shoots that can arch during flowering. Cultivation is straightforward. Prairie Joy was bred by crossing hardy varieties, so its hardiness is high.
Prairie Joy is a relatively new variety that pairs a distinct flower shape with a low, neat bush, suitable for hedging. It blooms profusely and is quite winter-hardy. Somewhat susceptible to black spot.
