The classic hedgerows of Normandy, France are made of R. canina.
Planted closely and allowed to grow for decades, they could literally
stop an army, as
the GI's found out as they tried to break out of the Normandy
beachhead.


They've also been used as center dividers on highways (as has rosa
rugosa). They stop a car gradually without flipping it in most cases.
