Default Thorny shrubs

I planted Pyracantha for the very reason that it should stop my pesky
neighbour from leaning over to pick my pretty white and green ivy off the
one bit of fence amongst all their horrible conifers

I want to plant a boundary of thorny shrubs. Which such shrubs are easy

to
grow from cuttings? I've tried growing some thorny types before, but

the
cuttings never made roots.


Pyrocanthus can be rooted from softwood cuttings and if you've ever "mixed
it" with such a hedge you'll know why it's called that - "Who planted that
flaming thing?!!" It grows fairly quickly too.
