I am looking for some rose varieties to place along my lawn border to stop
kids cutting across. The border's about two feet wide and ideally I would
like some scented roses in place. Can anyone advise me on what type of rose
I should use, and some varieties. I don't need height to achieve this.

Rosa rugosa is fiercely thorny. But do bear in mind that if the lawn is
visible from the house windows you'll spend half the year looking at bare
twiggy stumps.
