Default ideas to support gladiolus

Looking for ideas on how to support glads.
I've thought of suspending some concrete reinforcing wire above the bed
but I'm afraid the rusty wires might saw thru the flower stems.
Maybe not.
If you've had success with this method or have other successes please
share them. The glads will soon be blooming in Kentucky!

Thanks!

Dan,

I use green bamboo sticks. I got them at Big Lots and they were about
$1.50 for a pack of 25 (or 30). They are three feet long and I use some
of that green twist tie stuff to tie the plants to the sticks.
