      Rosa Rugosa whips to form a hedge are available now in garden centres and most roses like a fair bit of wet. If it's too boggy I'd recommend improving your drainage by breaking it all up first with a spade and/or fork and letting the frost break it down further, before adding some rotted leaf humus, thn plant in spring. Rosa Rugosa hedging can get quite tall and will provide a thorny, thick barrier up to around seven/eight feet unchecked. Or maybe look at hazels, willows which love wet earth.

        In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
