I don't mind getting pricked so much so I use
cotton gloves with reinforced (rubber nodules)
palms. Lately, though, I read a Consumer Reports
article on work gloves and sprang for a pair
of Mechanix gloves. At $15 they're about 3-4x
as expensive as my usual gardening gloves, but
are very flexible and seem to protect more than
my other gloves. They're also supposed to last
a lot longer so the price difference is misleading.
The "best" rose gloves are so thick I have to take
them off constantly to do much of anything, which
defeats the purpose...
I think I found the Mechanix gloves at Lowes,
either there or Home Depot. One store carries
the brand, the other doesn't. The gloves come
in a male and a female version, which I
appreciate. They're a really good fit for me.

I like the kidskin guantlets i bought on remainder, but there are hide
gloves that look nice, so:
