Does anyone know of a thornless rose, other than Zephirine Druouhin?
I cut back my ZD hard when I had my fence replaced recently and it
doesn't seem to be showing any new growth.Are there others which are
thornless? I'd like to put another rose further along the fence.
I don't grow anything with thorns, so no other roses, and now with
failing sight it's even more important to me to have one without
thorns but with scent.
Any ideas?

Worth making contact with growers like David Austin Roses and asking your
question of them.

I emailed David Austin Roses and have already had a reply!
"The following climbing and rambling roses are completely thornless or
nearly so:
Amadis
Bleu Magenta
Mme Sancy de Parabere
Rose-Marie Viaud
Snow Goose
Veilchenblau
Violette
Please let us know if you have any further questions. One of our rose
experts will be more than happy to help."
