Yes, thornless is a nice thing on a rail you might touch. I am laying off roses, and -- basically trying to stay away from plant purchases for a whole year after this!!! I still have some arriving in spring! The two roses, Koko Loko and Ketsup and Mustard, then I have 3 paphiopedilums that I was chicken to ship in winter, so the vendor said he's ship in spring. On the 20th I am getting another Japanese Black Pine, 'Shirome janome'-- and I am running out of space. Today I was super serious about getting a new japanese maple, but I cleared the form when I found the company did not have free shipping over a certain price. I guess I am spoiled by companies that ship free after a certain price. I think I am going to go on a "plant starvation diet" for a while. I need to be responsible and wait to see if the stuff I bought likes where I planted it. (I also planted a small plum tree, Bruce, (not ornemental as it has fruit) in my rose garden. It had been in a big planter for about 2 years. The roses like a bit of shade since we are so hot around here, so I like looking for smallish (15 feet tall or so) trees that will cover an area with shade. I particularly like the Sakura type blossoms to cover the tree in spring.
