    If that is the case, I would definitely suggest bougainvillea as the plant you want. You have to train them on the fence where you want them. But they have thorns as long as your thumb and they hurt! The only problem with them is that when their leaves turn red and fall off, they blow everywhere. If you don't mind raking your yard then this is the plant you want.

    There are various kinds of rose plants ones which have thorns and some don't but they look very beautiful. I am not sure of which kinds does possess sharp thorns.

    Thanks Roguegal, I would love to grow bougainvillea but it will not grow outside in my area. Maybe that will change in time the way climate change seems to be going.

    So true, the climate is changing everywhere. Have you thought about the Hummingbird vine? I have seen them and they are absolutely beautiful. Hummingbirds do come to them as well.

    In that case, Pyracanthas. Long painful thorns, hardy in most areas. Very lovely and the birds will love the berries.
