Default clematis ahead of itself.

A large flowering, late clematis - sorry forget the variety - didn't

get
pruned in the autumn (I forgot). I've just noticed it's now producing

new
shoots all over.

Would it be better to let it get on with it, or prune it now, a bit

late?

I pruned a C. 'Jackmanii' at the weekend which had started into growth.
Last year my attempts at lowering and tying in this particular plant led
to unintentional pruning, more often than not. I still ended up with 8
feet of purple flowers by June.
