Hi, I'm a complete non-gardener just about to blitz a completely
overgrown "garden"
Amid the jungle is a plant I would like to retain, but in a different
spot, so would like to take some cuttings, or summick.
I think it's some sort of rose, least ways the stems are equipped with
some viscous anti-personnel barbs/thorns.

So, how do I preserve this plant? I have the use of a neighbour's green house.

This is a wild rose or 'dog rose' (Rosa canina). Not really worth keeping.

I can't agree with that! Firstly they're very pretty and secondly, bees
like them and thirdly, the hips make a syrup rich in Vit C.
