    That’s very beautiful Nellie, and looks very healthy. Not sure what it might be though. Is it pure white? I will try and look it up.

    Cheers, tda. It is pure white with a small yellow centre and about 4" across. We've no idea where we acquired it. Might just have come from a cutting we picked somewhere.

    There are lots, might be Dancing Queen🤔 This is a fabulous Clematis Nursery, and the website has a huge selection with pictures, so you might be able to pick it out better than me!

    Lucky me, it’s only about 14 miles from home😁

    Don't think that it is Dancing Queen. To my untutored eye it looks more like Clematis John Huxtable, or possibly Prince George.

    Have you tried the photo section using "Bing". All I did was type in White Clematis and then looked through the array of photos before going to RHA site with a name.

    Found them! I used my rose encyclopaedia Nellie, plus a bit of internet searching. I just needed a name jog after labels have gone missing. 😁

    Hosta, does your "Warsaw Nike" resemble the one on my previous photo, as I think that's what it is?

    Anyone recognise this one? We've lost the label, think it might be "Constance." It's out now, took this photo in the week.

    Crikey, that’s well on Brue. Everything here has gone back to sleep it’s so cold. My poor Pieris has had its bright red tips frost scorched😢

    Found room for 5 more Clematis albeit my garden is very small. 

    John Paul II, Multi Blue, Polish Spirit , Montana and  Madam J Corevon. So hoping for lots of colour.

    Multi-Blue is quite beautiful, mine are just creeping open now & this year it has multi heads as a bonus. For a few years it struggled with flower amounts but not this year👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

    My Multi - Blue had 3 blooms when I purchased it , so yes nice Clematis.

    wondered did anyone see the Lady on Gardeners World who had 110 different Clematis.

    I’ve had one of my very well established Montana’s badly hit by frost this year. It’s still alive, but I have had to cut it back. First time ever seen this happen, all my others are fine, no damage at all. Hoping it might make a late flush now.

    Yes these late frosts have knocked back most plants . I lost a much prized Acer along with a Clematis, and Hydrangeas.
