You can use the text search facility on this website - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/ - to tell it what colour are the tepals and stamens and it will come up with a list you can then search to compare and identify yours.
It's an academic research website so won't try and sell you plants but it does list thousands of them. It also gives info on pruning groups, flowering times, how to prune and how to care for your clematis.
Have fun.

Don't think I ever heard of a clematis Ice White ? The plant in the picture looks very much like some of the Estonian Cultivars, just starting to flower now, larger flowers, maybe Teksa ?
Yours looks like it could be Rouge Cardinale, Netherfield.

President ?? My favorit one ! http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clematis_'The_President',_Niles,_Illinois_-_20060527.jpg
Hmm, I'm not sure. The President pictures make it look a deeper purple; this one is more pinky-lilac. Also the centre part is less fluffy
No idea about yours, can anyone name this one. Still a lot to open and there's even more at the other side of the fence.
Looks almost red - Rebecca? How tall is it?
About 5 foot.

Hi Nynaeve
think it might be sea breeze. If not it is very simiar. I agree with Richard on the second one.
Taylors Clematis has a very good site with a lot of information and it helps with identification.

Sorry, not Ice White, Ice Blue! But it's supposed to be a (mostly) white flower when getting sun. Will check out these links, thanks everyone
