Default Thorny plants - pyracantha

Rosa rugosa is thorny and has lovely hips from which you can make your
own Vit. C drink, IIRC. Depending on your location, you could try
Grevillea rosmarinifolia which we have badly sited on the corner of a
path here. That *really* bites and if only you could use
Agaves....................!


We're in the central belt of Scotland, just outside Glasgow. Anything too
tender isn't a option.

I do like the look of rosa rugosa - it's quite common around here, but I
think it might be a bit of a monster in the front garden.
