Some roses are thornless due to selective breeding and genetic mutations that suppress thorn development. Breeders often select for these traits to create more user-friendly varieties for gardens and landscaping, as thornless roses are easier to handle and maintain. Additionally, certain species of roses naturally have fewer thorns, which can also contribute to the availability of thornless options.

Did rose plants always had thorns?

No. Nature provides exceptions to every rule. Some truly thornless roses do exist and a greater number of "nearly thornless" roses are available. Some roses, such as Polyanthas, tend to have fewer thorns as a species. As a point of proper nomenclature, roses don't have thorns, they have prickles.As to the evolution of these protective mechanisms, the rose prickles are similar to plant hairs and are are extensions of the cortex and epidermis. They evolved to protect the plants when they grew in poor soils and could not regenerate rapidly when gnawed on my browsing animals.Some "thornless" varieties include:Bleu Magenta (Hybrid Multiflora, mauve)Chloris (Alba, light pink, very fragrant)Goldfinch (Hybrid Multiflora, light yellow/white, fragrant)Hippolyte (Gallica, mauve/red blend)Kathleen Harrop (Bourbon, light pink, fragrant)Lady Banks Rose (Species, white or yellow)Lykkefund (Large-flowered Climber, white/light yellow)Mme.
