Ok, so I didn't actually trim roses with them, but I did cut through a ton of blackberry brambles, greenbriar, and every other thorned plant my yard had to offer. These gloves go up extremely high, much higher than the gloves I have that are specifically made for thorny plant care. The range of motion, as far as opening and closing my fingers was not spectacular, but it worked fine for my purposes. These gloves were very inexpensive, and I would buy them again, were I to need a second pair.
