I'm very sorry about a clematis that probably got clematis wilt or whatever
they call it last summer. It didn't sprout this spring, and I assumed it was
a permanent goner. When I pulled it up, it had an extensive, seemingly quite
healthy root system - oh well.......I gave some thought to tucking it back
in the ground, but decided I didn't want to leave it another two or three
years to see if it might leaf out again.

I've found out that as long as something seems to be firmly rooted, it has
a
chance of coming back--it's just saving its energy for favorable
conditions.
I've had pentas, ixoras, etc. "killed" by a freezing night or two that are
now
coming back.
