Charflie in Cornwall sent me 3 Gillian Blades a while back. I took
them to France to plant and brought them back again as there was 6
inches of snow.

Today, I decided, as they are in bud, to plant them here on a sort of
pergola which has rambling roses srabbling all over it, my hope is
that the two will look good together. My question is, does a clemtais
have different needs in relation to feeding i.e. I use fish, blood
and bone for my roses, will Clematis thrive on this or do I need
something in addition?


be careful what other plants you pot them next to, their roots are a real
tangle and in great quantity.
