cultivation of climbing plants
Explanation:
Climbing plants need support; that's what distinguishes them from shrubs. (BTW, I recently finished a semester-long class on shrubs and vines. You could also say 'vines', but see my comment below - it doesn't work with 'cultivation'.)

vine: a plant with a weak stem that derives support from climbing, twining, or creeping along a surface

As far as I know, there is no special term for their cultivation.

836,000 refs for ["climbing plants"]. You could also say 'vines', but when you talk about cultivating them, there could be confusion with viniculture, which is specific for grapes.
