I'm searching for a tough, hardy, evergreen climber to protect from
burglars an exposed easily climbed front wall in the UK. Ideally with
huge spikes, local garden centres only have 'firethorn' with prehaps 1
or 2cm spikes but I have seen in the past somewhere a plant with 3 or
4cm plus evil spikes !?
Please help !

An antique climbing rose named "mermaid". The cane will get as thick
as a broomhandle and has the most evil thorns I've ever seen on a
rose. Plus it has decently looking white blooms much of the summer.
