Hi again! Went out tonight and took a few more photos of clematis with roses. Unfortunately, a couple of my old roses (albas) are finished blooming, so I can't show you those. However, here are some more:

Westerland & Semu

Jacques Cartier & Jackmani

Perle d'azur & Snow Pavement (buds) Sorry, very chlorotic!
{{gwi:307383}}

Limelight & Harlow Carr

I really have tried to order pink clematis (instead of just blue all the time), but I have received three mislabeled plants (Jackmani's) that were supposed to be Nelly Moser and Hagley Hybrid

I have quite a few clems and roses around the garden, but photos of only a couple together. Here goes:

New Dawn & Clematis Viticella 'Venosa Violacea'(Perle D'azur is on the other side of the arch, but you can't see it in this photo)

Abe Darby & Clematis Integrefolia 'Arabella'

Oh, and here's Evelyn with Venosa Violacea also.....

Once you start, you will find that you want them all!

There is a wonderful book about how to combine roses and clematis by John Howell or Howells.

Its nice to see some of the group are growing Venosa Violacea. She's a great clematis.

Harry, love your photos! Your Westerland is what made me decide to order one too. I also have Betty Corning, and love her, but have her planted behind Chloris, which, for me, has produced only dried up buds. So much for the beautiful display I was hoping for! This is her third year and my patience is running out. One more spring....and if I don't get any results, off with her head.

I agree, Venosa Violacea is not planted nearly often enough. It's tough, very beautiful and easy care. All of the viticella's I've tried are wonderful.

And thank you, Carol and Proudgm.

I've got the following roses and clematis plants and any ideas or thought on clems to add to my collection would be most welcome...
I've got an Alchymist climber on a wooden fence out in the middle of my yard, with room for two more climbers, or some shrub roses. I have other roses on the other side of my yard by my house--Eden, Jude the Obscure, Evelyn, Olympiad, Fantin LaTour and some Casblanca lilies planted nearby, adding as I can afford extra bulbs and can find them at the growers.
I just got two clems, Rhapsody and Vyvyan Penell--one of which I plan to set out with my Alchymist. Preferences? Beyond that, I have two clems I don't know the exact names of yet--they were mismarked when I bought them, and are not what's on the tag!I will upload photos once they bloom. Those two are planted by the Eden and the FL....whatever they are, lol, they are currently thriving.
Any idea on adding roses and clems to my fence or shrubs would be fantastic food for thought, and would be most welcome.
