I have no place for one, but still want it. <br />If you don't mind some nit-picking, the accepted name is Rosa omeiensis forma pteracantha. <br />Roses don't have thorns; they have prickles. A thorn is a modified branch; a prickle is an outgrowth of the outer surface of a stem. (A spine is a modified leaf.) And these are easily the coolest of any roses anywhere.
