Horses will eat it, no matter how prickly it is. If they're hungry or if they just want to nibble, they'll eat any rose, so I don't know if it's realistic to expect the roses to substitute for an electric fence. There aren't any hips on the plant.

It is very fertile land in Iowa but a little dry. I can do some irrigation because it is near a well hydrant.<br /><br />I prefer a suckering rose because it will save labor making such a long hedge.
