We have bought several pillar roses to train up our house. We don't want to
use trellis as we think they are unsightly. I was planning to fix them
directly onto the bricks but I need some advice about what type of hardware
would be most suitable. Chris

Use stainless steel wire atached to stainless steel eye bolts then you put
the wire in whatever direction you want and tie the roses to the wire.

Make sure the rose stems aren't rubbing against bare wire. Whatever you
use to tie the roses on should be plastic or softer, adjustable,
replaceable, or plenty big enough to start with, to accomodate the stems
a few years down the track. There are plastic ties at a nursery or you
can use pantihose or budding tape.
