Hi I am new to gardening so forgive the silly questions - Is there a Rose bush that can be planted within a grown hedge to help with security (thorns) thanks peter

Not a rose expert here, however I'll give it a try.

Climbing roses clinging on the outside and running through.

Roses filling under the hedge where the hedge can't or does not grow.

I think Holly would be better, but A massive cane of climbing rose
can be strong and nasty to work with.

Thorns - try Forth of July - thorny. Streaked red and white.

How about a rugosa. They tend to be thorny and can handle partial shade?

Most of the wild roses will do really well. Rosa canina is probably the easiest - do a search for bare root dog rose and you ought to find someone to supply you.

But the idea is good, there is almost always a rose in traditional country hedging.

I agree with the previous post.

This might be too late for use but if not just type 'roses for hedges' in the Google search bar and you will find what you are looking for.

how about the eglangtyne it,s the sweet briar and very thorny a good barrier to intruders and scented foliage plus hundreds of single pink roses

If you need them for security why not just lace your hedge with barbed wire? OR even better, razor wire? Haha only joking...

I suppose roses would look nicer and be more traditional...
