A trellis is a structure that supports climbing plants. It may be used to support climbing roses, grape vines, and other types of flowering plants. Trellises are commonly made from wood, metal, or plastic. They may be freestanding or attached to the side of a house or building.

Q: I have two climbing roses that are very healthy, but they do not bloom much. What can I do to get them to bloom?
A: Climbing roses need plenty of sun and well-draining soil. They also need good air circulation and water when the weather is hot, but they should be allowed to dry out between watering during the summer months. Climbers also require a trellis or support structure on which they can grow up and over.
When choosing a trellis for climbers, make sure it is strong enough to support the weight of the plant. If you don’t have an existing structure for your climbers, consider building one from wood or metal posts and wire fencing (either chicken wire or welded wire). The posts should be at least 8 feet apart so that you can attach the wire fencing between them at least 2 feet off the ground. Make sure your support structure is sturdy enough to hold all of your plants in place as they grow taller each year.
You may want to add some kind of brace system between each post if you are growing more than one vine on one trellis so that they don’t pull each other down as they grow taller.
