Anyone have any suggestions for any other non-climbing rose with nasty

There's an Austin called "Fisherman's Friend" that has huge nasty vicious
thorns. It has the largest and most beautiful red blooms. Very fragrant,
too. My Dad got this one hoping to get even with the deer one year. I
remember he had a little trouble finding it, but not too much.
