Winged Thorns - One more ornamental feature of roses!

One of my roses surprised me by developing these prominent winged thorns. This is rosa hugonis - and I thought maybe it was mixed up because these bright red stems didn't look like the normal growth. Then I saw this thread: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/2133848/neat-thorns-foliage-rosa-hugonis-or and it looks like the rose in question also had the exaggerated thorns and was ID'd as R. hugonis. In any case, I love these kinds of interesting ornamental features on roses. So much more to enjoy than just the flowers.
