I am about to plant prickly species roses and a border ?marker? Perhaps OP
should consider replacing the wall with prickly roses, or adding a row of
other prickly plants inside the wall. They are garden plants officer ;-)
I would prefer a hedge to a wall - but the wall is much more
'immediate'!.
I am wondering if there are any climbing plants i can grow over the
top of it that are spikey or unpleasant in some way?
Lots. Brambles spring to mind.
