I heard of a rare type of rose, called a 'sterling rose'.  
Apparently, it has a rare color, and it is thornless.
I am looking for a rare flower for a rare gift.  I have been
unable to find any information on it.  Please reply here or
to [email-masked]. 

Thanks

There is a hybrid Tea rose called "Sterling Silver' which is heavily 
scented, sort of a soft mauve-lavender, and is SPARSELY thorned.  The 
only non-thorned rose I know of (admittedly I don't know the more exotic 
species) is the Lady Bank's rose, which is small-flowered, either yellow 
or white, unscented, and climbs to 25 feet in California.

You want a good suggestion for a rose, ask in rec.gardens.roses
