No roots but lots of new growth

Is it normal for a clematis cutting to put on lots of new growth without roots? I took a cutting about a month ago and assumed it had rooted as it's growing quite well but when I went to pot it up properly yesterday there were no roots.....?

It happens with other plants too, so you often have to wait quite a long time before potting on. It's also why you cut large leaves in half with cuttings as there's too much top for the cutting to sustain, early on.
