You can dip just the rope section into a very strong mixture of Starch, let dry in a hanging position so gravity works. Then rehang the wreath and the rope should be stiff and upright. You can purchase a bottle of fabric stiffener at a craft store.
Not enough rope for support. Bead of hot glue along the strand. Hair spray. School glue that dries clear.
You can add a medium to it like thinned glue.
What type of rope are you using, and what is it made out of? Fray Check is one product that may work to give support to and harden the ends of the rope, as it is used on sewing accessories such as tassels.
Please post a picture so that we can see what you have to work with.
Use some Allen’s decoupage medium on it and then let dry in the position you want of you want it to stand up let it dry up side down
Glue ! Mod podge, Super glue, Hot glue etc. and time!
Can we see a photo to get a better idea? I would maybe dip the strands in clear wax, clear glue or mod podge as others suggested. Or put a thin fabric wire inside if the rope is thick enough.
