Default Plants for home security

Also could you suggest a very thorny, fast growing evergreen climber I
could grow over the front door/roofline of the garage and along one of
the longer sides? The longer side needs to be covered by a climber that
is happy to grow from a pot, if possble, otherwise I will need to take
off a pavement slab and plant it in the ground right up against the
wall of the house.


Not a climber, but pyracantha can be trained up a wall, is viciously
thorny, grows rapidly, and has berries which aren't the birds first
choice, but will be taken once they've finished the rowans.
