Gently train them to grow on the trellis by using strips of old stockings to pull them to the trellis and tie them loosely (not a tight tiet can harm the branch). Every time you get a little more growth on a branch, start training it to climb the trellis. It will be worth the time and work when your wall of roses is complete!
You have to train it. These instructions are pretty good on how to do it: https://www.thespruce.com/prune-and-train-climbing-roses-3269551
Use Velcro gardening tape and gently guide the vine on the trellis.
thank you so much..... my mom had a beautiful trellis of roses growing up, so I'll definitely try your suggestion🥇
