Originally I wanted Hagley Hybrid and believed it was what I had until mine bloomed and was identified as Proteus. I do have enough clematises (wince) so it's not that I "need" any particular color. I just wished it had been as lovely as yours and some of the others on the database. Yes, robust is what I want.
I'll probably be moving it anyhow so, with the addition of compost and manure, maybe it will imitate yours in 2014 (though I doubt it).
Thanks for the compliment on Jackmanii.
