We are looking for the thorniest climber possible to discourage skateboard
toting teenagers from jumping our fence and taking a shortcut to the arcade.

Mermaid

I agree with Allegra : Mermaid.
Nice hooked thorns.
I had a thorn for a couple of days in my arm, quite deep, before I finally
remove, using my "home surgery"... ...skills.

Try Seafoam--lots of sturdy,absolutely vicious thorns, vigorous
growth, abundant,sweet scented flowers. It isn't a climber, but it
gets big enough.

Unless they are wearing full body armor, the skateboarders won't mess
with
Seafoam more than once.

I grow rugosas, some of the thorniest roses around, but they are no
match for Seafoam in terms of sheer painful nastiness.

I'll match you a Sea Foam and raise you a Silver Moon. Or Fortune's
Double Yellow:

I vote for Phyllis Bide - plenty prickly. She is repeat flowering,
grows quickly on her own roots, and gets very big:

Oh my goodness. Gorgeous pictures, Cass. Fuchsia Scimitars indeed. And
the floriferousness of PB is breathtaking, simply put.

Very nice images to dream about ...

A skateboarder who lands in a patch of any of these roses is going to
be one hurtin' slacker.
