The landscape photo below shows what beauty rose arbors can provide in your landscape....

The structure of this rose arbor is attractive in itself but, in addition, acts as a trellis for the roses. Climbing plants such as these roses need the support provided by trellises in order to be displayed properly. If planted against a building, the trellis support for roses may not be a free-standing rose arbor, as in the photo above. Rather, it may be a two-dimensional trellis or perhaps even just latticework.

Also note the exquisite balustrades used as fencing in this landscape photo. The creators of this landscape design obviously have refined tastes. The balustrades, as much as the rose arbor, proclaim to the world, "I am not a run-of-the-mill landscape!"
