A couple of years ago, when I first joined, I found a recommendation for reasonably-priced goat-skin men's gloves with the long cuffs, and i found them perfect until they started wearing thin, and I recently wore a hole into them from so much use. Once the fingers wear through, they are still great for using when you tie climbers, cutting back the leather fingers. You can probably find the post if you do a search. For wicked thorns, like the sort you find on brambles, though, I prefer cowhide gloves, and they might work best for super thorny roses.
