A friend is about to move into a house with an open plan front lawn. She is

to mix in, also with prickles. Any suggestions for the variety of rugosa and
the complimentary plant would be most welcome.

Rosa rugosa is not a "lowish hedging".

What I wonder about is why your friend moved into a place with a
no-fence rule, presumably well aware of it, and then immediately
sets to work to circumvent it? It's like someone buying property
next to a farm for the amenity value (oooh, see the cowsies!) and
then whining about the smell of manure.
