Which clematis with climbing rose?
Comments (4)but if you purchase a clematis that must be cut back every spring, there may be a problem untwining it from the rose. I haven't had that problem. Deciduous Clematis stems are brittle and easy to remove. I cut off Jackmanii at the base and pull it off of the rose (in my case Fourth Of July and Sombreuil). If there are small bits left the bits are quickly hidden by the rose foliage. The clems that should be cut to the ground every year are the easiest ones to deal with. I think Jackmanii would look great with Blaze and Zephie. Another might be 'Perle d'Azur'....See MoreClematis on Climbing Rose (photo included)

Comments (16)Gayle..I am thrilled you are seeing the vigor and beauty of Clematis "Ramona"..she is so underestimated and talked about one of the wonderful Pruning group 2's IMHO. I have clematis "Rhapsody" but he doesn't seem as vigorous or floriferous as "Ramona" BUT that may be because he is in more shade..I am considering moving him..maybe someone with him located in more sun can speak differently about his attributes? I also have clematis "Crystal Fountain" which is in year two for me..she was wonderful this year..I have her container grown with a drip system to her pot..she hasn't gotten very tall for me..only about 4-5 feet tall..tho mine is in morning sun and afternoon shade.. Climbing rosa "Lady Banks" is a huge vigorous one time bloomer and I would suggest planting a pruning group 3 if I was you..Purples and blues both look fabulous with yellow and call me kinky but I love red with yellow roses too..I have climbing rosa "Teasing Georgia" companioned with "Barbara Harrington" & "Mme Julia Correvon"..two deliciously vigorous reddish pruning group 3's...Jeanne...See MoreQuestion...
Comments (3)Don't know about roses but your clematis should be fine. Many clematis are Pruning types 3 and should be cut back hard every year. Some people treat Pruning type 2s (cut back to strong buds and will bloom on both new and old growth) as 3s which will delay early bloom but still have bloom on new growth. Pruning type 1 clematis only bloom on old growth so are not cut back unless one wants to rejuvenate the plant. If 1s are cut back to the ground expect new growth the next spring but no flowers until the second year....See MoreRelated Professionals
