I'd say that is "The President" and is an early large-flowered type. Group 2 for pruning which means light pruning in late February. Start right at the end tip of each stem and follow it down until you find a pair of healthy looking buds and snip the stem off just above them.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

Thank you very much for the reply Bob, this is the first clematis I have seen with 8 petals. So didn't have a clue.
But pleased to think I have the president as I have heard a lot about them.
You have a very healthy looking specimen there Flyfifer!
Thank you now I know how to prune it I can give it a bit of TLC.
