If you want to feed the shower hose up the wall, you'll need to clip it to the wall somehow. Otherwise it will just be flopping around at head height within the area you're using to shower. So at that point you may as well install a run of rigid pipe on the wall with an arm to hold the showerhead, like this and then work out how to fit the flexible hose onto the bottom of the pipe.
I got an L-shaped shower curtain rail from Byretech and I'm really impressed with the quality. I'm guessing you'd want this one but, like @Airhead said, not cheap. You used to be able to get shower curtains with vertical fibreglass rods in them (from a company called Tuckwell), which were absolute genius because they made a freehanging curtain more like a cubicle and less of a clingy mess. Annoyingly, I think they've stopped production.
EDIT: I don't know if you can get oval shower rails with the supports on the long side. I guess that's because it would allow too much leverage on the fittings if someone pulled down on one end. Byretech do additional supports though.

Alright kids. Here's a weird one.
We have a freestanding bath. I want a shower in there. Because there's a window to the front of the bath just above the taps, I can't install a shower there, so I think I need to install one on the ceiling.
I already have a shower pipe coming out of the taps so it SHOULD just be a question of:
...but all the ceiling shower heads I've found are enclosed - i.e. the pipe has to go through the wall, not plug in on the outside. Am I missing something super obvious?
This is what it looks like if that makes any diff
