Can you divide Clematis root in half

I have a large Clematis which sends up forty or fifty shoots each year. Can I split the root ball and if so when.

  • Many clematis can be propagated by division, you need to make sure you have a rooted shoot in each portion, best done when plants are dormant over winter.  Any ideas which variety it is ?

    I've no direct experience, but more than once in the past I thought I'd dug out a clematis only to find the following year new clematis shoots coming up.

    Articles via Google describe how others have divided clematis
