    BTW the photos are actually of 'Sweet Summer Love', L2L, my post was a bit unclear!

    Yeah, I was confused for a bit but I did Google both. The Mary Rose is a deep plum colour with quite small bell type flowers, right?
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    @London_to_Latimer your brief (mostly green, splashes of colour, screen still visible) cries out for an alpina or macropetala!
    Of course, I'd also have some later clematis on there too, but then I would have clematis on every surface if I was allowed!

    @mikeymustard, I was drawn to both those and the viticella types too. Unfortunately, most of the ones I liked were out of stock 😞

    We have C. Queen Mother clambering up the side of our pergola ... it’s a gorgeous clem ... only in her third year and making a great display without too much ‘heavy leafage’. I would show you a photo but it’s pouring with rain so you’ll have to make do with this https://www.taylorsclematis.co.uk/Queen-Mother.html

    Now I need to find a July-Oct variety!
    I’ve no idea what I’m doing.

    June to October?  The Queen Mother has been in flower at least two weeks and will go on and on and on .... 😉
