Advisability of composting thorny rose canes

Hi all,

I searched, but didn't find a post on this subject here, so here goes...

I sometimes toss pieces of rose canes in my compost pile, but usually bundle them off to the town composting site to be shredded for mulch.

If you compost rose canes at home, what is your experience with the thorns? I have some very thorny rugosa roses, and I really don't want to make compost that "attacks" me with every handful I pick up?

Do you compost your rose canes?
