climbing rose bushes

18 years ago

I have two climbing rose bushes. Right now, they are without support. Is there anything I can use to allow them to climb on that will not be expensive? I need to move one this fall because the my vine is taking over the wooden fence my husband and I put up two years ago.

How about making a teepee using 3 or more bamboo canes? You can also peg them.

Ihave a 4x4 with a bird house at the top of it. We took a piece of 2 ft wide lattace wood and fastened it to the back of the pole. Have a White (Henri) Clematis that climbs up the back of the lattace and a Don Jaun (red) rose that climbs up the front and around the bird house. Both are in full bloom right now, and are quite the eye catcher. An added bonus is the blue bird that is nesting in the box.
