Clematis montana Rubens

what a beauty deida

Yes think Rubens a great variety of Montana - this is a lovely example .

I want one! This is beautiful - I hope to get to a garden centre soon to buy one of these - haven't had much luck with clematis in the past but I want to try again.

Stunning Deida........

Thank you all ,so beautiful when it is in full flower
Gee this one is reliable and easy to grow,had it from Aldi some years ago and never failed..please note this climatis is a vigorous climber.......

Wow, lucky you. Looks beautiful ... mine is only in bud :(

Ours too Dawn..lots of buds though !

Great stuff BB. Had a frost the last two nights but not too much damage. My jasmine loses its leaves to frost every year :-( but just shooting again now.

: ) : )

Thanks Dawn and BB

Dawn where do you keep your jasemine ?

Hi Deida, the Jasmine is just along from the Montana - they are growing up a fence, south facing but we do live in a frost pocket and tend to get frosts when no-one else does probably as we are close to water too. Wonder if I should move it?

Pass.I am in the same situation Dawn,that's the reason why I asked ..I keep mine in the greenhouse not sure if that is the right place for it

Hi Deida, well, what a dilemma we are in, lol. We may have to ask the guys! Mine is just sprouting new leaves again and its been set for about 3 years now but no flowers yet :(

I love it. Just doesn't get any better !

This is great! I wonder if montana is hardy to me here. I'd love something like this around.

Certainly a winner, pretty and so reliable , mine as gone a wanderibg into the Cherry tree and I can't see the lovely flowers boo hoo!
