Spiny garden shrub (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

berberis

(Other definitions for berberis that I've seen before include "N African Muslim" , "Shrub made from beer and ribs" , "Spiny shrub sometimes planted to deter burglars" , "This bush be briers, strangely" , "plant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sunday Times and The Times.
