Vines Clematis Roses

What clematis is this?

last year

last modified: last year

This started being noticed a couple of years ago. Not sure if I planted it or it grew from seed. if I planted it, it was planted more than a decade ago.

I'm guessing it's a type 2 since that's what I usually like to buy, but it really only blooms in the spring. Many type 2's bloom more like type 1. At least in my garden. Grows very aggressively. It dominates an area roughly 15' wide. It's rooted in so many spots, It's likely 10 interconnected plants.

Coloring is off for Barbara Jackman. I am leaning heavily towards Blue Ravine.

Thanks all!! Robert..those pics is why I love RE. However, mine tend to have a very slight blue to the red. These blooms last forever on the bush and they are HUGE. Also, this is one of the most disease resistant roses I have ever seen. Lovely shiny dark foliage. The downside, it take a long time before she is established enough to take off. Mine are 4-5 years old and are just coming into their own. Sherry, just about any clem will handle our weather ok. It is more a thing of placement, some do great with partial shade others want more sun. Joyce, RE is indeed a rebloomer, more like a constant flow all season. Carol..that Artic Queen photo is yummy! Everytime I try to buy her they are sold out..ARRGGH, thanks Kate, I have Huldine growing with a young Celine Forestier. Laura..that sounds like a very rich combo. Mari

HF Young is a nice clematis as is Ramona. I think a blue or even a darker purple would be pretty so long as it is not an aggresive one that will take over your rosebush. Blue Ravine, Daniel Deronda, Yamato, Silmakivi. I have the same rosebush but it was not speckled last year, maybe it will be better this year. Theresa

Clearview Horticulture promptly identified this clematis as Dorothy toliver Clematis ‘Dorothy Toliver’ (syn. ‘Dorothy Tolver’) (Jonathan Gooch 1987) – A fairly recent English introduction which resulted as a cross between ‘Niobe’ and ‘Vyvyan Pennel’. It bears large 6″-wide flowers of a rich mauve-pink in late spring and repeats in August- September. The blooms are occasionally semi-double. Grows 8-12′ high. Pruning group B. Hardy to zone 4.

It does look like some pictures of Blue Ravine. Some pictures it doesn't look like it, but that could be it looking different in different growing environments. Name doesn't ring a bell, but if I planted it, it was a long time ago.

Don't think so. The petals are all at the same height. Not alternating up and down. Good guess though.

How big are the blooms? Could it be Horn of Plenty?

Not Jackmani. That is a solid deep purple - no bars - and only 4 tepals.

Horn of Plenty is a pretty decent guess.

Could be horn of plenty. The flower petals on mine bend back, not forward. I'm not sure if that's a reliable determinant. I have not seen any flowers since spring, so might be a type 1.

Not a type 1. Those are almost entirely species and with different type flowers. This is a large flowered hybrid so most probably a type 2. Not all type 2's are rebloomers.
