Ideas for supporting a wild rose

Hi all,
we have a wild rose in our garden. The rose was already there when we moved so I can't tell you any more details, but it is huge and has lots of arching branches. I feel it needs some "taming" as the thorny branches are everywhere in the garden bed. For reasons I don't want to go into detail in, we can't just tie it up to the neighbours fence and I don't want to put a trellis there either. So - how would you support a large rose in the middle of a flower bed? I quite like the arching of the branches - but would an actual arch look weird in the middle of a bed considering you can't walk through? What would you use?
Thanks

Even if you used an arch such a rose would soon smother it.
