How to Build a Rose Bush Trellis

Placing a trellis in your yard to secure your rose vine is easy and an ideal way to grow the bush. The trellis adds beauty and color to your yard and gives your rose bush a place to thrive. A trellis is best built next to a fence for support. Some trellises are freestanding. Paint the trellis to match the color of the roses to add character to your yard.
