It may not in your climate. Two of the three listed offspring are reportedly from using the General as the seed parent, so it will set hips somewhere. It isn't uncommon for roses to be selective about where they set hips. That can be for a variety of reasons. Rosarium Uetersen, when grown in extremely high heat, produces intensely double blooms where all sexual parts are transformed into petals. In that situation, there are no hips set. Grow the same plant in a cooler climate, and the flowers are far less double and extremely fertile. I've experienced the same issue with Iceberg and Mermaid. High heat areas prevent both from setting seed, while milder areas enable them to form and carry hips.

Just the same as people aren't they? High heat would have prevented me (in my day) from getting pregnant too. hmfusr lives in coolish Melbourne. The authors of 'Tea Roses: Old Roses for Warm Gardens' lived in hottish Perth and it is interesting to read their 2008 reference for both 'General Gallieni' and 'Rosette Delizy'.

One plant that I got as "General Gallieni" is well equiped with thorns,while another nursery advertises the same variety as "thornless".Anyone have any thoughts on this?

As usual with Teas, there seem to be various roses sailing around under the name of 'Général Gallieni'. My GG has relatively few prickles. The new Tea book from Australia speaks of "scattered" prickles. What is the source of your thorny version?

Has your plant flowered yet?
The blooms of 'General Gallieni' are rather distinctive in shape and colour range and you will be able to decide whether your plant is correctly labelled from the blooms.
Extreme conditions may cause a rose to produce more or less prickles but overall, 'General Gallieni' is not thornless, although some stems may be.
The prickles are slightly hooked.

Appears to be the right shape, sort of "square",of course color is variable.
