Hi to All,

My friend has 2 or 3 tree roses and they are about 3-4' tall. When
they bloom, the tops become so heavy they pull the plants over and
threaten to snap the main stem ( cane?)

Does anyone know of a decorative support device that may be
commercially available to stop this problem? We have checked with
several nurseries and they have nothing available except the
suggestion to use a piece of pipe ( metal or PVC). She is hoping to
find something more decorative than that.

TIA,

Debra

1/2 in. concrete reinforcement bar (rebar) is lumpy, and will oxidize to a
natural brown. It's not that noticeable.
