She mentioned something she's going to send us which sounded like
Onensis spinosa (she couldn't remember the name clearly) Does that ring
any bells with you?

Maybe something to do with a particularly thorny form of Rosa omeiensis?

Thanks Jeff but I don't think so - I'll email her for a better
description. They're in Devon/Cornwall on holiday so when they get home
I'll hope to get a better idea. Had it been Rosa, I don't think she'd
have struggled to remember the name. It seemed the first name was
Onensis or Oniensis but she was quite clear that the second was
'spinosa'.

In that case, Ononis spinosa sounds a possibility.

Very clever of you - that has to be it. Thank you very much.

Wish I could claim the credit, but I can't. I just put "spinosa" into
the RHS Plantfinder search box and looked for anything beginning with
"O" in its results!!!

Well, that was a lot more clever than I. I'd thought you'd have to have
more of the first name to get anywhere, so I didn't even try it!
