Retaliate with Thorns
Retaliating specifically refers only to the inherent ability to deal Thorns damage to enemies when they Hit you.

Some effects may cause you to deal Thorns damage in other ways, but those are not Retaliation, and effects which specifically care about when you Retaliate will ignore them.
Retaliate against all Hits
This allows your Thorns to Retaliate against any kind of Hit dealt to you by enemies, rather than just Melee Attacks, except that you can never Retaliate against the enemy's Thorns damage.
