Default Bougainvillea

Can someone recommend a good vining/ground cover type of Bougainvillea?
I want it to spill over a low wall and down an embankment.

Just be sure it's an embankment no one willl be tempted to sit on. Most
bouganvillians have sadistic inch-long thorns, when mature.

You betcha! I've had thorns from those Bougainvillea go right through
the bottom of my tennis shoes!

Guess that's the sort of thing you should plant under your windows to
discourage break ins!
