Propagating deciduous clematis.

| I have a lovely dark purple clematis that I would like to see intertwined with my climbing Westerland rose, but have no idea how to propagate the thing. I've tried taking cuttings and potting them up, but they just turn up their little toes on me and expire. Has anyone had any experience with this? |

| Hi mutzi,Having being disappionted many times trying to propergate clematis. The tried and true method for me is to layer them.The big purple I have is HONARA absolutly magnificent.After flowering I wrap the vines next to the root system around the pot and cover all the nodes with soil.Last year it was quite successful.There are a lot of people who know a lot more than i do about clematis.But i love it when I have a wee bit of success Cheers Terry |

| Thanks, Terry, I'll try that when the flowers die off. Beats me why I didn't think of it myself. Duh!! |

| Mutzi, Terrys solution sounds good to me but if that doesnt work it might be easier to strike a cutting off Westerland and have the rose grow through the clematis. Best of luck |

| that would normally be a good suggestion, yvonne, but the clematis is already growing thru' American Pillar, (I think) Looks great when they are both in full flower and that was what set me thinking to match it with others. Took a clematis flower for a walk around the garden, and showed it to all the other roses that I thought it would live happily beside. Westerland was the next best bet, but it looks best of all beside American Pillar. |

| Hi! This is a few years after you posted your suggestion and I was wondering if you were successful? I also have a Westerland climbing rose and wanted to mix dark purple clemantis with it also. Great minds think alike! If you have any tips, I'd be very greatful. Regards, Desi. |

| clematis are cut from just barely (not anymore) green shoots, not more than one leaf junction, leave the stem underneath, trim leaves to halves, stick into pot. Cover with platic tent should root in about 2 weeks,keep out of direct sun, needs enough moisture, but not soggy. But I take my vines down, make an indentation in the earth around the vine cover with earth, then mulch, z4, in the spring many have rooted, good to enlarge plant or use for trading Ursula from Ontario. alkuncy @ nexusisp . com |
