Agriframes is one of those firms that offer big discount codes, and promotes them through magazines etc, so keep your eyes peeled, if you are interested.

I would personally go for a frame that it tough and will be with you for years. Roses and clems etc can be heavy and need to with stand wind. I'd recommend going with a well known manufacturer. It may be a case here that you get what you pay for.
You want to be able to pass through the arch with ease - re head room and to the sides, with plants growing out a bit. So, where possible, go wide. Also you might need to bring a barrow through (if you use one) or a tray of food etc.
Look how the arch will be in the ground. Does it need concreting in? How will it stay up? Is it wide enough to stand on its own without foundations? (mine is).
I like the look of the Lattice Garden Rose Arch on your link. It looks sturdy and it has trellis which is good for clematis to grow up and easy to tie a rose to.
It depends on how wide you want it and the look that pleases you and, of course, it must be strong. The prices on that sight look good.
I paid similar for the one I bought from Meilland Roses in France for my home in France. As an added precaution against strong winds I banged in a metal fence post on each side, attached with wire.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
They have similar flimsy ones in Lidl. Next door had one. The tubes were about a cm. Agriframes tubes are nearer 3 cm and coated. Never rusted. Next doors had a clematis on it and it rusted and collapsed in a high wind.
I like the look of it @fizzyliz, it's very decorative. My only comment would be how easy would it be to tie in the clematis as it grows ? I would be more inclined to go for a design with closer spacing lower down, such as this one, but it is all down to your personal taste. I look forward to seeing which one you go for

We have three of their arches, still very sturdy after 25 years.
