Great links, Margie. I have a hard time describing the corral support that have been used in the Sacramento garden, but I do know that the roses with that kind of support are more floriferous and less sprawling since the people working in the Sac garden started using them.
I am not sure about the tomato cage support system. I haven't grown the roses you are working with and can't really conceptualize their growth habit. As with climbers, bending those long canes and tying them down will give you more lateral growth and more bloom. Generally, if they are allowed to just grow straight up, the natural apical dominance of the plant would create blooms only at the top of the canes.
I agree, Margie. This has been a fun discussion even if it is about a rose I have not grown.
Smiles,
Lyn
