Sorry, this should have read: Am off to the Harrogate Flower Show tomorrow and need your experience to help me decide what to buy - photos would be a bonus!  Thanks.

What sort of clematis do you like?  There are so many types - alpina, large flowered, herbaceous, evergreen .... and different flowering times

Haven't got any photos, but Abilene does well for me in a pot, and Josephine is going mad over my trellis - and flowers all summer long.  Have fun at Harrogate !

I have a beautiful dusky pink one called Josephine. It has double flowers and is beautiful.  Flowers around May June time and again around September.  One of my favourites.

..this is a close up of Clematis texensis 'Princess Diana', it's quite floriforous when you get it going, which can be difficult I have found...

Use the website I've indicated on teh other threads and put pink in the tepal box on the search form.

I have Princess Diana and like many clems she tooka a couple of eyars to settle down but isnow very vigorous and has masses of flowers.   Alionushka is pretty but less vigorous - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=1 

Cicciolina is tough and has rather small flowers produced in profusion - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=567

Dr Ruppel is gorgeous but struggles with my winters - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=143

Hagley Hybrid is common and a bit mauvey but has lovely dark antehrs and is a good doer - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=196

hendryetta is a delicate flower and non clinging so needs training and tying in - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=2017 

I love Markham's Pink but it didn't like my winters - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=2017 

Omoshiro looks fab planted with a deeper pinky red clem such as Mme Julia Correvon or Niobe or Warsaw Nike - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=2017

There are also scented clematis you could consider.  Thevergreen armandii types are a too wussy to survive for me but I have these doing well -

clematis x triternata 'rubromarginata' - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=540

and Flammula - http://www.clematis.hull.ac.uk/new-clemdetail.cfm?dbkey=172 

They are all scrambled up trees.  The last two have tiny flowers but lots of them.
