Mine is sort of free standing now since it destroyed it's third trellis and I haven't bothered to replace it. There are still some pieces of the trellis in it because it's wrapped in there so tight I can't get it out but the supports are completely gone. Make sure you give it plenty of room because it gets BIG!

Great thnx seil. Want a huge shrub its gonna be next to albas in my front yard by the road. And since your in michigan too i see it must do well in cold winters . Dont want anymore tender roses. Looks like im already gonna have a R. Moschata im gonna plant next to my brick house on the south side which happens to be the front of my house. Good thing is its gonna be by a window. Hopefully i can keep it alive with a fleece. If not its gonna be a learning experience.
