The first one looks like a chrysanthemum which should be coming into flower about now, if it is. 2nd looks like a not-very-healthy clematis and the last is a fuchsia. None of them need cutting back at this time but cut chrysanthemums back to the ground in winter and prune the fuchsia quite hard in early spring, back to emerging buds. Young clematis should be cur back to about 30cm high regardless of the pruning group in early spring.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
any thing i can do for not very healthy clematis?? the chrysanthemum has grew lots all year but not a single flower, i thought there was something wrong but hopefully it will flower now
Clematis need deep soil and are hungry and thirsty plants, Tony. Is there a good depth of soil where it is planted? It will need soil at least a foot deep and if that isn't the case, I'd recommend moving it to elsewhere in your garden. You can buy specialist clematis feed at garden centres or sprinkle fish, blood and bone around the base in early spring.
Some chrysanth's are very late flowerers but there is still time left. However, there are a lot of types and some need special treatment and are rather fussy. If they don't flower this year then they may be a type which need mollycoddling - see here:
I may be wrong, but the second one looks more like virginia creeper or similar to me, judging by the five leaf shape of the bottom leaf . Who's that photobombing the picture, Tony?
No 2 is definitely Parthenocissus Quinquifolia as Swiss Sue says. I'd also suggest it's planted too close to the wall , in what looks like a very narrow bed. It'll struggle for water there, so either move it or keep the watering can handy.

Good spot SwissSue.

I'd agree about the climber - and it's not going to be too happy there. Move it if you can to give it the best chance of showing you what it can do
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
