Hi,
If you are interested a company called GARDEN &HAPPY.COM has thornless roses. A pretty one is Cinderella miniatures. Snow White flowers, it looks like my iceberg roses also thornless.
They are so easy to grow.

I used to have roses, but the deer are voracious rose eaters. I have a pink climber that I wrapped fencing around. It's pretty, though for only a short time. I find that deer don't like rosa rugosa, and they're easy to grow, so I have two. I like the hips on the rugosa.

My wife would like me to stay off ladders, but I'm comfortable with climbing. I painted a lot of houses for supplemental income, so I have good ladders. I can't go on the garage or house rooves anymore because we had metal roofing installed, but I can still work on the barn roof.

I have a yellow clematis that was a prolific grower. I have to keep it cut back off the deck steps. I can't remember the variety, but I'll look it up.

My parents loved their roses. They were always a significant portion of their gardens, wherever they lived.
