Default Help with clematis ID

Morning all

In a VERY sheltered area right next to the house, I have a summer-flowering
clematis still covered in buds.

Of course it's not labelled. : (

Large-flowered, the white buds have very definite green stripes up the
centre of the petals - most easily visible on the underside. As the flower
opens, the green colour fades a bit and the flower is almost completely
white on the upper surface of the petals. Then as it matures it becomes a
very pale pink.

People who lived here before were not great plant lovers so I would think
it's probably a "garden centre special", most likely sold as a "climbing
plants pair" with the honeysuckle (labelled, naturally!) growing next to it.

Any ideas?
