Has anyone got any experience with this one. After some really bad

for a hardy replacment which can stand the cold north east weather a
little more.
Can anyone offer other very hardy clematis other than this new
avalanche one? preferable an early flowering one.

Bearing in mind last winter's temperatures, -8 isn't really very hardy.
My montana and alpinas have come through the last two winters looking good - alpinas are in full flower at the moment. There are other clematis around the garden, but until they flower I won't remember what they are.
Which jasmine did you lose? Surely not the yellow winter flowering one?
