Climbing Rose Bush Advice

Hi everyone!
Sorry if I've posted this to the wrong place - I'm new here!
My other half and I have just started renting a new place with a garden. Neither of us have ever really been gardeners before but thought we'd give it a go!

I've attached a few photos to try and help explain - we have two of these trellises in the garden, but they are dilapidated and falling over. We have spoken to the landlord who said they would be concerned about us taking them down because of the rose that's tied up to one of them but would be open to suggestions.

Would anyone know how we could take the trellis down but save the rose bush at all? If that's possible?

Thanks for reading!

Well if the trellis fails its going to make a right mess of the Rose ! I looked at the photos before reading your post and my first impression was "That trellis has had it" ... before I even looked at the plants, which is unusual for me!

You could cut the rose back hard, it will grow back again. Not advocating that, per se, and best done at the right time of the year ... but just to say that Roses are pretty robust.

I would have thought you could get the trellis out, and replace it, with care - and without the Rose coming to any harm, if you are OK with DIY and had a second pair of hands available.
