My HMF:

☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I see that is says almost thornless, but RVR pictures show an average amount of thorns, if you grow it, please comment. After checking with a couple other growers, it seems that it has about average thorns for a hybrid musk, small and many, but not very stiff. It has about the same as Ballerina for thorns.	REPLY

I would say it has less than the average amount of thorns. I intentionally grown low-thorn roses as I am on a blood thinner and have had serious bleeding from a thorny rose. I gave away all my thorny roses. This has been in a small pot for 2 years and had very few thorns. This year I moved it to a large whiskey barrel planter and it is growing larger. The new growth has more thorns but they are small thorns. The plant is also small enough so it's easy to see what I'm doing and avoid the thorns. Basically, this rose is thornless enough for me to keep it. Besides, it is maybe the most healthy rose I have. The blooms repeat quickly, they are beautiful, they smell nice. Overall, it is a very rewarding rose to grow.
