I've just read about this one in Hyams's book and it's a new one to me.
Is
anyone growing it? He loved it for its thorns!

I don't grow this one, but I've known about it for a long time. I've often
thought of using it to supplement patchy areas in my pyracantha hedge. It
would give the burglar something to think about!

Incidentally, I couldn't raise your link. Don't know why. Fortunately,
there is a picture of this rose in my brain. :~)
