Fantastic! Ooh a Rebecca, a red clematis, how lovely. That's pruning group 2, so cut stems back to a pair of strong buds in early spring and remove any dead or damaged stems then too. Enjoy those beautiful flowers!
thank you, I am having so much fun building my new garden in our new house, i've even managed to bring some half dead roses back to life and am now going to subscribe to Gardners World Mag
When transplanting or planting clematis you need to plant them deep and water well each day and shade the roots if not they will die,I have killed a few to know that they don't like being moved and you really have to water them well but don't give up on it ,it might come back...
