Traditional Rose Trellises

Espalier

• Through the art of espalier, climbing roses can be trained to grow flat against a building or fence. As the vines grow, they are fastened to a base of lattice-work that is placed parallel to the structure's surface. This type of traditional trellis is a good way to decorate any large, unadorned wall.

Free-Standing

• Free-standing trellises are panels of lattice that do not need a wall or other structure to support them. They can stand alone anywhere in an open yard for training climbing roses. These trellises are often shaped in fan or rectangular ladder styles.

Arbors, Arches and Pergolas

• Arbors, arches and pergolas provide a place for climbing roses to grow overhead as well as up the sides. These traditional trellises often have a garden bench for sitting in the shade produced by the plants.
