They will look very pretty Rosie. I have Princess of Wales and this is gorgeous. I haven't got any others of yours, but most clematis are lovely.

I thought perhaps Rosie had gone a bit 'over the top' with her clematis, then I counted how many I have - 13 ;D Grindle is right Rosie, you can never have too many |

Well they grow nicely through trees. My Clematis macropetala 'Wesselton' looks fab growing through the laburnum which has not got its leaves yet.

It is really the wrong place for a Montana but it is an old plant by the looks of it and i doubt it would move successfully. Do any of you grow Viticella's?? |

I like them because they don't get wilt |

Yes, I have a blue one, but I have forgotten the name. Good old standby that does not succumb to wilt or anything at all.

I can recommend 'Betty Corning' (lovely blue bell shaped flowers and lots of them), 'Madame Julie Correvon' (dark pink/red) and 'Etoile Violette'. They all flower well for me, I give them a few feeds when they first start showing signs of growth and then let me get on with it |

You reminded me Peony. It is Etoile Violette that I have, so it is not quite blue. I love Royal Velours which I first saw growing at Sissinghurst 24 years ago. These smaller flowered clematis flower very profically for longer than the big flowered varieties. I almost forgot my Polish Spirit which is at the kitchen window. I love it because it is much admired.

I love this Clematis which is growing up the tellis in the oval garden - when Barry painted the trellis a few weeks ago the Clematis was pruned a bit but it doesn't seem to have come to any harm  |
