Best Thornless Roses You can Grow

Flowers, Gardens - Roses are among the most beautiful plants you can grow, and they are also among the most delicate. Many roses have thorns, which make them perfect for cut flowers. But roses with thorns also make them sharp and prickly, so you can't enjoy them for long.

The rose that doesn't have thorns, or thorns that won't hurt, is known as the thornless rose. Thornless roses produce flowers that look exactly like regular roses, but they aren't as delicate. Thornless roses are hardy enough to survive in areas where regular roses wouldn't grow.


Thornless roses make wonderful border plants, since they can fit in almost anywhere. They are also nice for containers, since they can stand up to a lot of neglect.
