Prickly (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

thorny

'prickly' is the definition.
(I know that prickly can be written as thorny)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for thorny that I've seen before include "Problematic (question)" , "Tricky" , "Causing difficulty - like a bed of roses?" , "Unpleasant" , "Trying" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
