Was just looking over the forum and found some 2 year old questions about Clematis. I love this plant and it took me a number of years to get them going.  After maybe 4/5 years two of them have not done well. I cut one completely down this week.  It was growing near my shed that is undergoing a re-do.  I dug it up, the roots looked good and I got two plants out of it.   They are in pots and we will see what happens from here.  The other vines, a purple and a double white are growing together and they don't look good either. Much brown/dead growth after a feeble bloom time. I have noticed that there are two new shoots coming up at the base. So I am going to cut these two back as well. Time will tell if they make it or not. Singing to them every day. Of course, that may kill them completely.
