I like Rose but hate thorns. Is there have Rose without thorns, if there do. Please tell me what name of Rose and what colour do they have. I want to have Rose without thorns in my garden.

My favorite thornless rose is the 'Zephirine Drouhin' rose. It is an antique Bourbon rose. It is billed as a climbing rose although I have grown it as a "shrub" with a little pruning.
The roses are a dark pink and smell like lemon iced tea. It can also take some shade which makes it very versatile (I believe it can take as little as 4 hours of sun and still bloom although it doesn't rebloom well in the more shady areas). It is also pretty hardy and does not seem to get black spot or other fungal diseases (even in the shade) although I usually get a good crop of aphids first thing in the spring.
It is readily available by mail order from places like Jackson and Perkins or Spring Hill Nursery, etc. You may also be able to find it at Home Depot or Lowe's if they carry Jackson and Perkins roses.
Just writing this makes me anxious for mine to bloom again this year! You will love it.
