Support climbing rose along curved bay window

Hi, 
Last year I planted a climbing iceberg rose at the base of my curved front bay window. I want the rose to climb around the front of the house but I cant think of anything to support it around the curved bay. 
I think narrow panels of trellis placed vertically might work but I'm not keen on the look of wooden trellis all over the bay. 
Any ideas? 

Thank you!

    Wires and tension hooks would work

    I suppose tension wires would work but I think it would require lots of hooks to go horizontally around the curve without the wire touching the wall.

    Depending on how high the vertical space you want to cover is (eg is your bay the whole height of the house or just the ground floor) a series of vertical wires might work, and tie in the rose across between them. It might need just as many vine eyes/tension hooks though.
