The subject of this article has been mentioned only and never actually shown in a comic book or on-screen. Despite their lack of physical appearances, information about them might still be relevant or interesting or at least worthy of documentation. Anything known about them is to be considered second-hand information.

Rose Canton was the former wife of the Golden Age Green Lantern Alan Scott and the mother of his children Jennifer-Lynn Hayden and Todd Rice, aka Jade and Obsidian. She had an alternate personality, the supervillain Thorn.

Thorn battled Green Lantern many times during the Golden Age. However, during a period when she received treatment for her mental illness and the "Thorn" personality was suppressed, Rose fell in love with Alan Scott. The two dated and eventually married, as Alan was in denial of his homosexuality at the time. Although he could not be sexually attracted to her, Alan did deeply love Rose platonically and the two had a positive relationship, including having sex on at least a few occasions.

Rose eventually relapsed and Thorn took over again. She left Alan whilst she was pregnant with twins, who she gave up for adoption. Alan didn't know she had been pregnant and Rose never told Alan about their children, so he didn't meet the twins until they were adults.
