I was testing some thorn jumps and came up with some ideas for this room. The thorn jumps itself are really easy to do, all you need is to buffer your jump and they are fully consistent.

First clip is with hitboxes on, you can see how small hitboxes are, that's why Hornet is not dying. First jump is really easy to do โ€” all you need is to dash immediately of the bounce and then buffer you jump.

Second jump is harder, because you need to line up yourself and then buffer you jump. Visual cue is really obvious the place is right under the second ring pole. I also like to float just after the clawline since then buffering is exactly the timing of repressing the float (at least for me), but probably it's not optimal.

I did this room with 12.25 (second clip) despite not being a speedrunner (the comsob is 12.23 but roomsob is at most 11.86). Maybe somebody can improve it, I dunno. Also you don't need to use both of them, I think the first half has much more potential than the second.

Finally, you might want to learn these strats regardless, since they can save your run if you failed any other strat โ€” all you need is to fall into correct part of thorns to jump off them (clips 3 and 4)
