Party Rose is a Legendary Rose variant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. When the Party Rose gets enough vanquishes, she will enter Party Time, which makes her move faster and deal higher damage, similar to the Computer Scientist's Crunch Mode.
The Party Rose cannot be unlocked through normal methods, which are sticker packs (excluding the Infinity Packs). Instead, the player must open Eternity Chests in Infinity Time to get her stickers, and that means he or she has to collect at least 15,000 Time Shards in that mode to have a chance at unlocking her.

Abilities
Party Time!
Party Time! is the passive legendary ability exclusive to the Party Rose. Passively, getting Vanquishes fills the bar and once it is full, she will activate Party Time! While Party Time! is active, the Party Rose will gain a noticeable speed and damage boost which will last until the bar is depleted. The player cannot extend Party Time! by getting vanquishes whilst it is active.
Time Snare
Party Rose places a Time Snare on the ground which creates a large red cloud and slows down all zombies who are caught in it, leaving them slow and easy to take out for a few seconds.
Arcane Enigma
Turns Party Rose into pure energy, making her immune to damage and allows herself to deal a small amount of damage to nearby zombies.
Goatify
Transforms any zombies hit by her into goats, which leaves them practically defenseless, possessing nothing but a unique ramming attack. If these goatified zombies are hurt enough or a certain amount of time passes, they turn back to their original form. It is worth noting that the Party Rose can transform multiple zombies per spell if she hits more than one.
Strategies
With
Party Rose suffers greatly from being a Party variant, and dealing with the new balance changes of her vanilla counterpart, making her a very situational and very weak option compared to other Rose variants. Party Rose appreciates the minor damage bonus and the speed bonus provided by "Party Time!" but it will be very difficult to achieve this mode for times you need it, whether against the AI or against players, since its damage output is shockingly weak until then. A strategy to achieve the Party Time is vanquishing one zombie at a time or hide if low on health. Use spells as in danger. If you are in Party Time, activating Arcane Enigma stops the Party Time.
Against
The only thing you need to be wary of is her crowd control ability, as her thistles are very weak and only reach slightly above the damage her vanilla counterpart can achieve once it enters "Party Time!". It will be rare to see this variant on the battlefield, but as always, avoid her spells and you will have no issue dealing with it.
