I’ve been looking at Prairie Breeze because I may purchase one next year and I suspect that there may be some mislabeled plants of Prairie Breeze out there. The roses in the pictures from Linda’s long ago roses and Hummingbird Hill are more double and appear to be lighter in color than the rest of the pictures. Also look at the sepals in the picture from Linda’s long ago roses, they are simple with no (for lack of a better term) frills. Now look at the sepals on the pictures from Kandituft, they are hard to see but you can see frills on those sepals. So based on the plant description of a bloom with 25 petals, I believe the roses in the pictures from Long ago roses and Hummingbird Hill are not Prairie Breeze because those roses have many more than 25 petals. JMHO

Mine was super floppy. It's dark pink with a slight mauve tinge. Fragrant, huge, floppy blooms. Large leaves, but floppy foliage. Slight mildew, blackspot in summer. Composting it next week. Other Bucks have been better for me here in Oregon. I think several photos of Prairie Lass, which is great here, are more likely to be Sevilliana. PL is a very cheery tone of pink, with somewhat large blooms for a Buck rose. Sevillana is a more dull, dark tone of pink, with smaller blooms and smaller leaves. I think the problem is that many Buck roses were mixed up during the Buck craze in the 90s and early 00s. And it is hard to blame a nursery worker that sees a stippled pink and can't tell the difference which one it is. It's just how it is when things slip through the cracks of management.

Michael, what was the provenance of your Prairie Breeze?

The one I have here has very little fragrance and I don't recall any mauve tones at all.

It's never shown any sign of mildew here.

Thanks, Robert

This is listed as native to the Moscow Russia area and Moscow’s zone is equivalent to USDA zone 4, so maybe that could be updated.

The flecking through the petals is quite interesting Paul

Thanks Warren,
The stippling comes from the pollen parent which got it from R.arkansana. I have number of stippled seedlings from it as well.
