Can anyone recommend a fast growing thorny climbing rose that I can plant in a pot

I need a burglar deterrent! The rose needs to grow up along a very narrow piece of fence - it gets the sun on one side and is completely shaded on the other side...all suggestions welcome, white or pale pink would be good.

I don't know about speed but for 'thornage' I'd recommend Maigold. Only trouble is it's yellow.

My thorniest rose is 'Mermaid' - but again, it's a pale yellow.

Not sure how fast they grow but R rugosa is certainly thorny and was planted around my student accomodation to deter trespassers. can get white and shocking pink/red colours.

In the little patio of my last house I had an Albertine. Lovely pink rose, beautiful scent and wicked thorns. Only flowered in May though.
