This is not the case. Multiflora rose is thornless, and is used as root stock for almost all nursery roses.

[edit] About thorns

Actually, multiflora rose is known to have thorns when matured. Looking at websites off of a Google search for "multiflora rose fact sheet," almost every page says something like this: "Multiflora roseis a thorny perennial shrub..."

In my experience, about 1 out of 20 wild specimens are thornless or nearly so. Most commonly, it is quite well-armed.
