A few years back I ordered 3 clematis from T&M, the garden then got
neglected and we actually thought the clematis had died. We were delighted,
when after clearing the garden out, all three have come back. Two have now
flowered.

Only problem is (as you might have guessed from the subject) is that I can't
remember what varieties they were so don't know what to do about pruning
them. I've even phoned T&M, but all they have on their system is that it
was a large flowering collection.

Dredging the depths of my memory I think 2 of them were Comtesse de Bouchard
and Ernest Markham. The third I think was Marie something Polish sounding
(I've tried googling and looking up some books but nothing rang a bell).

Clematis 2 started flowering at the end of June and continued flowering to
the end of September. Lots of lovely pink flowers. I think it's Comtesse
de Bouchard

Clematis 1 has started flowering in the last couple of weeks. I don't know
if this is its usual flowering period or if it's been knocked out of sync
due to it having been late growing this year.

Any thoughts and suggestions as to what varieties they are and how best to
care for them is much appreciated.
