The umbrella structures are nice. I still want one. I saw one in person and it was looking good!

My husband built me several tutours for some of my roses. I place it over the rose and then train the canes around it. Sometimes a rose will get too big for it, so I prune back heavily in the spring and move it to a smaller rose. The red rose on the left tutour is a young Tess of d'Obervilles that I just put in this spring. Those are my granddaughters in front!!
The second picture is of arbors my husband built me - they do a nice job of supporting climbing roses. The picture also has pillars we got from Jackson and Perkins. In this spring shot the roses are low in the pillars, but right now they are all the way to the top - they're really nice this time of year when roses are putting out so many long canes.

My trellis is simplistic but it works! I used 4x4's (treated) finials and some square wire to tie the rose to. This is crepuscle

This ran along a low retaining wall and matched the curve. It was done with 4x4's (treated) and then covered in cedar (cheaper this way)

I had a New Dawn planted on it but never saw it grow to maturity since I moved.

Ooh Rhonda I love that last pic...and it looks easy too. I have a new dawn growing that would look lovely on that. Can you spare some details?
