Has anyone else noticed there plant of First Impression is virtually without prickles? Mine is an own root and has ZERO prickles on it anywhere. Very quick repeat, very healthy and heat resistant, too.
I have one with exactly one large thorn, as wicked as any could be but beyond lonesome; and mine by the way is just as fragrant as Sunsprite, ya'ani (ie) - evanescently to unreliably but occasionally fantastic.
Mine has thorns. Not as many as most of my roses, but a decent amount. I bought this rose hoping it would be thorn-free, but it's not :(. It is VERY healthy though, and always blooming! Well worth it ^_^
I too bought it just before Nor'East went out. Actually, thought it was a miniflora and put it with others in a raised bed. No winter damage in zone 6 at all. It's now an enormous fabulously healthy floribunda (without any fungicide). Loaded with brilliant yellow blooms. How do we get a (mail order) nursery to carry it, only Bailey's wholesale is listed. It needs to be more widely sold and grown
