Country of origin: USA Prom Queen TM is an old found rose of unknown origin and parentage.
It has a well behaved caning, arching habit. It is one the easiest to grow of all that we have tried, and will bloom the most reliably with the least care of any others that we are familiar with.
It is a perpetual bloomer that repeats with heavy clusters of medium, loosely doubled blooms all year in multiple shade of white, cream, soft creamy, shell pink, ivory and butter yellow. The flowers open slowly and so the bush remains in flower several weeks during each cycle.
It is a moderately thorny, but well behaved climber without house eating tendencies. It can be grown on a trellis or support, but also does fine an upright free formed caning shrub. The plant has an overall high degree of tolerance to issues typical of roses, and generally will self cure from seasonal spotting without treatment.
Prom Queen has a moderately intense classic tea rose fragrance, with the peak notability early in the day when the flowers first fully open.
We know it to be hardy in Zones 7 to 9.
