Words that rhyme with Primrose
Treated as a word the lyric earns weight from by context, primrose is also a two-syllable sound-shape on the resonant /oส/ โ one that trails off into a fricative. Plain-speech words like this earn weight through context. Pool data: the perfect-rhyme pool is generous, no family-rhyme matches turn up, and the assonance pool is the one that won't run out. Its function in a song, meanwhile, is to act as a low-register anchor. Hold the perfect column for the chorus; let the verses sample the slant columns.

Why primrose rhymes the way it does
In our engine, primrose registers as a two-syllable word on the open /oส/ (/o/) that lets the line dissolve into a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 168 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 293, assonance 5,094, and consonance 1062. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Primrose is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
