  Thanks folks, I thought 6m was a bit odd but that's what Crocus are stating, just checked again.

  As I don’t seem to have any roses in blooms yet, I thought I could at least post on the clematis thread …
  
  Nelly Moser climbing through an apple tree, it’s 3rd year and definitely looking good this year.
  
   

  First year for Comtesse de Bouchard so I’m looking forward to seeing it in full bloom, lots of flowers to open.

  Comtesse de Bouchard is lovely. Do you still have Guernsey Cream Marlorena, I bought mine because of yours but having moved it over winter it's first bloom isn't photo worthy. Allanah is up to the second storey balcony, lots of railing up there if it goes further.

  I love that strong colour.   No, I no longer have 'Guernsey Cream' but it did flower very early from mid April, but scant later flowers.

  Snap Marlorena, although my Niobe looks darker than yours. I've put it on an obelisk to pair with Charles de Mills.

  I’m really enjoying the rich colour of Warsaw Nike which has flowered much earlier this year. Acropolis is my best performer, only 3-4 ft high but it really packs a punch in the middle of my border covered in flowers for many weeks. 

  Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late.
