Can you train climbing roses to grow horizontally?

Perhaps a weird question, and hopefully not too embarrassing. But can you train climbing roses to grow horizontally/flat across something? I have this very large rock in the garden, 9' long 5' wide and 3.5' tall, and I think it would look amazing if were to be able to get a rose sprawling out over the rock. I was thinking CL. Iceberg (I think the white blooms would look gorgeous in shadow it casts near dusk and late afternoon, or CL Blaze (which is currently already planted near the rock.


Has anyone done this before? Any tips or adivce?
