trellis

Climbing plant frame

A trellis is a framework of light wooden or metal bars, typically in a lattice pattern, used to support climbing plants: Morning glories climbed the trellis by the porch.

The structure trains vines and roses to grow vertically, adding height to gardens.

To trellis a plant is to train it on such a frame.
