Josephine Clematis

Last year I planted this Clematis and it produced about 5 nice big double flowers,I thought it would do better this year having been well established,but so far just one flower......not even double.
It's been fed a liquid feed,but only one other bud showing. Should I be feeding it something different?

The whole truth is an instrument that can only be played by an expert.

@Obelixx Thank you I will do that. I have recently removed a nearby Buddlea that had taken over,so maybe it was taking water from Josephine? We are forecast some rain soon,so that might help,but I fear with only one more bud,it's had it's moment this summer. So annoying when it was not cheap,and yet my 1.99 Lidls one is rampant!
We had a good downpour last night so maybe that will help,with some seaweed feed.
Bearing in mind the dry summer many people had last year, and also the drier winter for many, ground wasn't as moist as it could be when summer flowering clems come into growth. Add in the dry weather again in many areas, and it's easy to see how they can be struggling. There's been a lot of queries this year on the forum about clematis not thriving, mildew etc.
