My 'Rose d'Amour' from Vintage Gardens is once-blooming, and among its many virtues it is thornless.
UPDATE: I lost my plant from Vintage Gardens in a terrible winter rodent disaster in 2013. A few years ago, I was able to get another plant from Greenmantle. It was sold as 'Rose d'Amour,' but resembles the plants shown in photos here for Rosa virginiana plena. Points of resemblance: foliage, flowers, buds, sepals, receptacles. This plant has a pleasing OGR fragrance and a light covering of fine prickles. It's not thornless as the Vintage Gardens plant was.

My 3-year-old loves this photo. He has me look up the "red and blue flower" and then he pretends to sniff it on the screen! Sure wish HMF really could have smell-o-vision, because this would be one of the most popular photos on the site.

Mature leaves of R. acicularis 'Aurora' have a pleasant evergreen fragrance when rubbed. The flowers themselves have a clove-like fragrance to my nose.
