Purple clematis planting plan

Beautiful photos and great suggestions, thanks everyone

My last garden was completely enclosed with clematis and roses. I miss my old plants so badly......

But.....new garden to play with

Happy days.

 

Mrs T's given up with me, every time a parcel arrives, all she says is it another clematis.
I've just got Clematis akoensis, its a species from Taiwan.
Also getting Clematis cadmia, again from S E Asia
She reckens I'm a clematis nut

It is indeed Rosa Banksaii, named after the collector Joseph Banks. It is the most wonderful climbing rose, very very beautiful small double yellow flowers. It's a species from China and grows big, needs a south facing wall in England, maybe west if you are in a warm area. It flowers for about a month from the end April most years (sometimes earlier) and another big bonus is that it is thornless. If you have space plant it, you will be rewarded. I first saw it about 40 years ago at Kew, where there is a magnificent specimen, and was smitten, bought one and was rewarded for many years until I moved. If you grow it, research the pruning; it is rather specialised.

 

Same here, another one arrived today Clem CASSIS

 

Thats the one found it on ebay £2.95 plus p&p £2.50, really healthy, only in a 9cm pot

 

will post picture over weekend, Its quite difficult to keep my friend in America has tried 6 over the past 5 years and never kept it

 

It could be that she lives in Ohio, there winters are worse than ours, and summers warmer, which could have a effect on it

 

You two are as bad as me with Fuchsias
