Arlene, thanks for your help. I'll put it on my group 3 list.
I've been done in again by our landscape guys. They mow our lawn, and edge the grass, and they blow the leaves during the winter. I take care of all the plants in the beds. I have to beg them to cut the roses back during the winter. Today I found, for reasons unknown, one of them trimmed my Pink Champagne to about 8 inches😡😡😡😡.
This is the 2nd time that this has happened with Pink Champagne. Several years ago, while trimming the grass, they cut my Patricia Ann Fretwell to 2 inches, in the middle of the growing season
They didn't touch any of the other clematis. I guess I'll watch this plant struggle to bloom again this year.
