Protect hard border (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hedge

I believe this is a double definition.

'protect' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'hard border' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for hedge that I've seen before include "appear non-committal in statement" , "Protect oneself from loss" , "Fence formed by bushes" , "Shrub boundary fence" , "Windbreak" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
