We have a lovely yellow climbing rose.  It is gorgeous!  And huge.  It grows over a very sturdy wooden archway.  I wish my rose bloomed more than one time a year and that it had a fragrance.  It is beautiful though!

Sounds like your yellow rose is not under the category of climber, but it's a rambler. Ramblers bloom once a year and climbers are repeat bloomers. There are exceptions but these are what they generally are.

The right support for a climbing rose depends on how tall and how wide they are.  There are specific climbing roses that are narrow enough and not too tall that they can be trained onto a pillar.  Some catalogues even call them "pillar roses" in the description.  A rose that gets 8 feet wide and 15-20 feet tall would not be appropriate for a pillar.  It would need a bigger support.  I have one such rose (Ghislaine de Feligonde) on the ugly chain-link fence along the side of my house.  It camouflages it at the front of the house. 

It's important to get the right support for a rose right off the bat.  You could probably call Cottage Farms or whatever company it is if you need info about the type of support that could handle that rose.
