I bought Mrs. Robert Brydon last fall and it isn't evergreen here. Blessedly, I'm seeing life again. Some things don't survive here because we have freezing temps with rain and no insulating snow.
I loved the look of the blossom in Carol's picture, so I'm thrilled that's what it is.
This was a great thread to educate on the various varieties of clematis available, what they look like and how they grow.
