I've set it before and I'll say it again, a default setting of &amp;quot;thornless&amp;quot;, is virtually useless and does a great disservice to those offering, breeding truly smooth roses. There is no way this rose could be prickle free or even close to it given this parentage.	REPLY

In this case, the description in the reference states "few prickles". Thornless is never a default setting.	REPLY

Few compared to what? Again, few prickles is not same as, &quot;thornless: , which is a misnomer in of itself, since roses don't have thorns at all. We need an option for smooth, or free of prickles, because as it is, the option is nearly worthless, IMO.	REPLY

Excellence is in the details, and the details here are insufficient and will be so until resolved.	REPLY

Adding additional descriptive options is certainly possible - one must merely make a request and present an appropriate case/need.	REPLY

First step could be to rename "thornless (or almost)" to "Few or no prickles". I am not sure if there is sufficient information on which roses have absolutely no prickles.	REPLY
