Having spikes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorny

(Other definitions for thorny that I've seen before include "Causing difficulty - like a bed of roses?" , "Spiky (of bush or problem)" , "Problematic; having spines" , "Spiny - difficult and controversial" , "Difficult like briar" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
