those fingers are far too clean!! whichever variety it is, it's in such a mess I'd just take the whole thing down to near groundlevel and start again from scratch in the Spring. You'll be able to work out the variety later in the year if/when it flowers and then you'll know how to manage it in the future.
Thank you, I was thinking something fairly similar. And I don't mind admitting i'm a confirmed glove wearer, far too soft to have my hands out in the winter!!
I wouldn't go to the floor maybe two buds up from the base . Its hard to say what type or pruning group its in without more info of flowering etc . If I had to put money on it a group 2 clematis the large hybrid variety's , if it is it should still flower this year even hard pruned.
Thanks Andrew
Although small it reminds me of a montanta , the colour of the stems , the bud and the mass of stems on close up .
possibly planted last year , If it was planted years ago then its not a montana ..
I would wait and see how it flowers to be sure then prune accordingly .
Thanks John
Hi there,
Quite the mess but with a bit of patience you could easily get a fair bit of that back up on the wall. I'd us a steel rake to gently tease whatever you can out ,before hacking it back that is. Getting a properly wired wall too wouldn't go a miss!
Have a good weekend
Paul
Thanks Paul, you too.
