Wall holds for climbing roses

I'm new to gardening and landscaping, and I'm trying to semi-redo the existing plants at my new house. There's a big, beautiful climbing rose at the corner of the house that I definitely want to keep, but right now it's supported only by three rather unsightly satellite dishes. The dishes have to go, but I don't really want to put up a trellis on the vinyl siding. I read somewhere that you can put up wall mounts and tie the branches to them, but I can't find mounts. Any ideas?

Good idea!
This will also keep the rose thorns from scratching up the siding. :D

That's a great idea, Marlingardener. I really don't want a trellis, so I'm hoping to find some sort of wall mount or other less-obvious method of support. Thanks anyway, though. :)
