The only one rose literally prickle free I grow is Renae bred by Ralph Moore. It's a climbing floribunda and doesn't have any single prickle from crown to tips. Healthy, vigorous, and fragrant. Highly recommended.
Where I live, I have some trouble with wildlife (two legged and four legged). Can you do a video on the toughest, thorniest, meanest roses? That would not only be fun, but also extremely helpful
@josxxiv Mr. Lincoln is a nasty thorny long stem rose with beautiful red flowers. Very long sturdy stalks and basically nowhere on the plant that doesn't have plenty of thorns. I placed them in specific locations to deter a problem neighbor and they are quite effective.😉🤙
Everything is relative. But I had a client with the hybrid musk Darlow's Enigma and I dreaded pruning it because it was so horribly thorny. Tall too! Its a beauty, scented and very recurrent, but not for my yard!!
Thank you for the recommendations and tips. I’m learning so much from your videos. “Queen Of Sweden” of DA rose is nearly thornless. Two French roses are almost thornless, which are “Dominique Massad” and “Ines Sastre”. Some roses recently bred in Japan and China are also nearly thornless.They are well suitable for growing in containers.
A thornless rose I love is Mutabilis, a Chinese rose without a scent but smothered in flowers from early spring to early autumn. Hardy and easy to look after. Needs no special pruning and you can take to it with a pair of clippers. I had a whole hedge of them in my last home😍
Hey Jason! Great presentation. I do have a couple of suggestions. Zephirine Drouhin (18568) has two sports, and I grow it next to its sister, Kathleen Harrop. (1909). Harrop is a softer pink, and although people claim it's less vigorous, I find that it is in fact much larger, blooms younger and more repeatedly, and it is less prone to blackspot. I must thank Pat Henry of Roses Unlimited. I called to order Zeph and she did not have it in stock so she suggested Kathleen. I actually prefer it. Truly worth tracking down. There is a third paler sport, Marthe, from 1912. Almost impossible to find. Another rose that is close to thornless is Marie Pavie. In terms of Souvenir, its serious drawback is balling in dampness. Several times people have approached me to ask about a rose in their garden that balls, and I ask if it is Souvenir, and they think I'm a genius because I identified their rose. I tell them that they might try its sports Souvenir de St. Anne or Konpresson Victoria, which are less double. But less spectacular. I love growing roses and their sports. If you love one, you will probably love the other. Your reference to Iceberg made me laugh. I was trying to grow two of them, one each on the side of Madame Hardy, but I kept losing them. In fact, I lost six, because I kept trying. Amusingly enough, Peter Schneider (Combined Rose List and Right Rose, Right Place) can't grow it either. And absurdly, it made me feel better. One rose you mention that is on my gotta have it list is Ghislaine. I understand that it grow well in semi-shade, so once I put in the roses I have on order for this year (Dinky, Pearl Drift, Sidonie, Urdu, and more Bliss Parfuma) amongst others. I will tuck it into a semi-shaded site on my yard. Too beautiful to live without!!!!
I have a Climbing Iceberg of my own and look after another. They aren't the easiest of roses to deal with; fickle. They don't like to be pruned for the first two or three years. Ghislaine de Feligonde is a must. I have two Blush Noisettes that are thornless too. Wouldn't be without them. Plenty of others too. Good luck. P.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Jason, It really does seem to be important where you live and the climate and soil you have. Some of the plants your readers have problems growing root here like weeds. Only 40 miles away (East England Coast) , lime loving plants which thrive and self seed. die when I bring them home to my West England clay garden. (I grow them in pots with limestone chips!)
@@peterhaymaker7562 I get it - Iceberg is gorgeous. But some roses are far worse. I got Jacquelyn Dupre by Harkness. What a beautiful rose. He noted that it "resents" pruning. You bet! After the first year I pruned off only the dead growth, and the sucker died. Whereas Climbing Gruss an Aachen is tough. I think that's probably as close as I can get to a Climbing Iceberg.
I am growing Crepuscule over a shed. It has clusters of small apricot flowers throughout the season and is almost completely prickle free. Very vigorous and disease free as well.
Great selection Jason - some good additions for me there - and as you say always goos for those arches which we always seems to buy too narrow! I grow Kathleen Harrop - a good pale pink sport of Zepherine and I also grow Morletii as a stong grower from the Boursault roses.
The Mortimer Sackler is a virtually thornless climbing rose from David Austin. It flowers in flushes throughout the season and is a very disease resistant plant. Although it is OK in Semi-shade, it blooms much better with full sun. I also like the fact that it has attractive reddish stems through the winter. The James Gallway (also David Austin) is an alternative. It has a few more thorns, has a 'fuller' flower and is extremely healthy. However, I find it harder to train over small archways, because it flowers on long vertical shoots that can't sustain the weight of the flowers without extra support.
You may already know this, but for others looking to find Mortimer Sackler, it was renamed to Mary Delaney. I hope to add it to my collection some day. It's very unique looking.
@Lindsay Mason Thanks so much for mentioning that. I was just on the David Austin website and couldn't find it any more. I didn't know that they had changed the name.
Mortimer Sackler's wife won the naming rights. I am puzzled about how Austin roses can rename a rose for which some one bid for and won naming rights. Is there something about this story that I don't understand?
The most thornless rose. I own is jefferson or softee. Beautiful cream repeat and abundant bloomer. Never seen a single thorn on it. Easy to care for. I am in the tropics, mauritius and it is my best performer.
Love John Davis! Another I grow that has minimal thorns is David Austin's Fair Bianca. Have had her for years, but I don't see her in the David Austin catalogs anymore. Beautiful fragrance.
Raspberry Cream Twirl and Peggy Martin. Both climbers. Also, you look wonderful! You're going to have to change your icon picture😂😊. Thanks for the great video!
Thank you so much! Thanks to you, I decided to buy souvenir de la malmaison and not zephirine drouhin. I’ve been trying to figure out string fragrant thornless repeating healthy climbers for at least 3 years.
You are so right Jason about the selection of roses for your growing space. While the prickless/thornless varieties are beautiful and quite inviting, it is important to know whether a particular selection will be appropriate for the growing space. Like you I have a bit of black spot and some new pests that I didn't have at the lower elevation, but I was already expecting to see a lot of differences due to such a dramatic change of environment. I was quite surprised when my newest addition, the Lavender Angel Face was the first to bud and open. I will definitely be experimenting with cuttings sometime this year. Funny how the roses are the first plants to actually be planted in the ground here on the new property.🤙
I have to say I procrastinated on this video because (for me) thornless isn't all that serious a consideration. There are some wonderful picks within the group to be sure, but I couldn't limit myself to just these.
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Exactly. There are so many options these days. I think the most important consideration is whether they will be healthy in a particular space.
I put a Cecile Brunner in my raised bed to climb up my arbor. Picked it so I wouldn't get snagged harvesting my vegetables. Can't wait for the first blooms 😅
Thank you for this list. I would add ‘Mrs Dudley Cross’, a beautiful tea rose, light yellow pink, and banksiae alba plena, which is even more vigorous than the yellow. I respectfully disagree with ‘Cecile Bruner’, which ‘got’ me quite a few times when I was attempting to prevent it from swallowing up my neighbors’ house.
Thérèse Bugnet, a hybrid rugosa rose, is mostly thornless except for the lower part of the branches (.5 ft, close to the root). It’s super vigorous, floriferous and fragrant. It’s a beast of of shrub though, growing from a 1 gallon plant to a 5ft shrub in 3 months.
Ohhhh .. in this case .. you want to see Rosa Omar Qayyam …just beginning to sprout as spring approaches .. chockablock with deadly thorns .. full of it.. it make me think .. when seeds were first planted when they arrived from Iran & they sprouted .. then the thorny stems.. what did they think of it?.. but flowers rewarded them nicely luckily for them
Jason, Thanks for the video. I'm in U.K., not Canada, and wonder how you haven't mentioned Mme Alfred Carriere. I have two that are basically thornless, are perpetual bloomers and have a very strong scent. I have quite a few others too including Blush Noisette which is a thornless and perpetual flowering rose wih a mild scent. I have others that you have mentioned too. I guess you can't mention all thornless roses because that would take more time. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks. P.
Interested to see the New Zealand rose, as that's where I live. We don't have one here named that, however I'm guessing it could be the Aotearoa rose? That's the maori name for New Zealand. I have one in my garden. The smell is gorgeous, especially in the evening ❤
I have an antique rose that was mislabeled. After watching your videos I think it is an alba - very few thorns, fragrant, blooms once, zero diseases, easy to root from cuttings. Question: I put many cuttings in same area of garden so they are growing close together - should each cutting be treated as a single rose or grouped to have a bigger impact and appear as one rose? Thank you.
Thanks Jason, This is a video I have been waiting for. How is it that the same variety can come in shrub or climbing form. Is it the rootstock? Greetings from Austria.
What about all of the Smooth Touch series of thornless roses(Smooth prince, Smooth Velvet, Smooth Serenity etc)? Are they not available there at all? We get them here in Australia. I have Smooth velvet which is a climber and 100% thornless
I have a thornless raspberry and a raspberry with thorns. My thornless plant is less vigorous, the bugs seem to flock to it over plants with thorns and over all I'd rather just deal with thorns haha.
Hi Kenneth - you've got loads of great options in the US. Rogue Valley, Heirloom, High Country, Angel Gardens, A Reverence for Roses. Probably quite a few others too that I'm less familiar with.
So I got thornless from burgess lots of thorns but I think I’m doing something wrong out of 3 2 of them are just ok , and one that gorgeous last year looks awful right now help
What climbing rose would you suggest for my zone 5b zone that is disease resistant, hardy and around 10ft. I don't care about the prickles. I love the David Austin roses.
Does lack of thorns make it easier for the plants to be eaten by say deer or rabbits? Also, it there a best way to keep Japanese Beetles from eating roses? They are the only thing keeping me from growing roses here.
It was a key feature I was looking for in a rose for a narrow gate. I didn't want people scratching themselves as they passed through. But we couldn't find one in the colour we wanted, and get one that still had scent. Instead we planted a clematis on the gate arch and planted a rose nearby
They're not a priority for me in my garden - I just couldn't limit myself down when I'm looking for more important features (to me) like fragrance and color.
It's wonderful to hear from someone who is so passionate and knowledgeable about roses. So look forward to your videos, whatever subject you tackle.
The only one rose literally prickle free I grow is Renae bred by Ralph Moore. It's a climbing floribunda and doesn't have any single prickle from crown to tips. Healthy, vigorous, and fragrant. Highly recommended.
Thanks for sharing your recommendation!
Thanks for that recommendation! I've never heard of it before, but it looks great.
What colour are the roses?
Oh I love Renae. Sadly she got RRD. I had to remove but I will grow her again. Such a charming one and the Fragrance is strong.
@@Crazyaboutpaper1 Sorry to hear that. Hope you can enjoy it in all its glory again.
Where I live, I have some trouble with wildlife (two legged and four legged). Can you do a video on the toughest, thorniest, meanest roses? That would not only be fun, but also extremely helpful
Thanks. I'll put it on the list. Spoilers: rugosa roses!
If you are in a warm climate, you want Mermaid, AKA Prison Bars. For colder zones, look at some of the larger Rugosas.
Rose Maigold is a monster😉
@josxxiv
Mr. Lincoln is a nasty thorny long stem rose with beautiful red flowers. Very long sturdy stalks and basically nowhere on the plant that doesn't have plenty of thorns.
I placed them in specific locations to deter a problem neighbor and they are quite effective.😉🤙
Everything is relative. But I had a client with the hybrid musk Darlow's Enigma and I dreaded pruning it because it was so horribly thorny. Tall too! Its a beauty, scented and very recurrent, but not for my yard!!

Thanks Tess.
Beautiful roses, thank you for the list 🌹❤️
Very much my pleasure
Hey Jason! Great presentation. I do have a couple of suggestions. Zephirine Drouhin (18568) has two sports, and I grow it next to its sister, Kathleen Harrop. (1909). Harrop is a softer pink, and although people claim it's less vigorous, I find that it is in fact much larger, blooms younger and more repeatedly, and it is less prone to blackspot. I must thank Pat Henry of Roses Unlimited. I called to order Zeph and she did not have it in stock so she suggested Kathleen. I actually prefer it. Truly worth tracking down. There is a third paler sport, Marthe, from 1912. Almost impossible to find.
Another rose that is close to thornless is Marie Pavie.
In terms of Souvenir, its serious drawback is balling in dampness. Several times people have approached me to ask about a rose in their garden that balls, and I ask if it is Souvenir, and they think I'm a genius because I identified their rose. I tell them that they might try its sports Souvenir de St. Anne or Konpresson Victoria, which are less double. But less spectacular.
I love growing roses and their sports. If you love one, you will probably love the other.
Your reference to Iceberg made me laugh. I was trying to grow two of them, one each on the side of Madame Hardy, but I kept losing them. In fact, I lost six, because I kept trying. Amusingly enough, Peter Schneider (Combined Rose List and Right Rose, Right Place) can't grow it either. And absurdly, it made me feel better.

Thanks Donna. After I gave up on Zeph I just didn't bother with Kathleen - but really good to know you see a difference in performance.
I grow the Zephirine D here in North England, it roots easily in my clay soil.

What climbing rose would you suggest for my zone 5b zone that is disease resistant, hardy and around 10ft. I don't care about the prickles. I love the David Austin roses.
How about 'Kiss Me Kate'?
@@FraserValleyRoseFarm Hopefully I can find one.

Now do a video on murder roses. 😅
Part of the beauty of a Rose is it’s thorns.
I definitely don't mind the prickles myself (except at pruning time, but I'm quick to forget when I'm choosing new varieties for the garden)
Not to me, I'd much rather have a rose with few or no thorns. My thin, aged skin doesn't appreciate scratches.
Without the thorns, only makes the rose look like an ordinary flower tbh
I definitely don't mind the thorns myself - I hardly think of them at all except at pruning time!
