I bought some and know their height and that they have a white bloom -Does anyone know if they have thorns and if they stay green in the winter time?

they do not have thorns because they are considered to be a shrub, and their leaves turn purplish in the winter, but the cold can damage them sometimes. i hope that helped.

Indian hawthorne, or Raphiolepsis indica, does not have thorns. They should stay green throughout the winter. Indian hawthorne are notorious for getting entomosporium leaf spot. This isn't really a horrible disease for this plant. It will typicaly grow out of it, provided the conditions for fungal growth are removed.

In the south indian hawthorne are evergreen. They do not have thorns, however they are prone to leaf spot and the deer will eat them to the root.

Yes they are zone 8 and south, they will stay evergreen easily sheared, and deer love them. No thorns

No they don't have thorns but they do have berries that birds love. Mine are fine all year long, but I live in Florida.
