Clematis. Pruning

should be pruned lightly as soon as they have finished blooming. Only cut
out weak or dead stems. Plants that bloom on new wood should be pruned in
Feb. or March as new leaf buds begin to swell. All dead wood above these
buds should be removed. Clean out any old foliage or diseased foliage at
this time. Old Clematis that have been neglected can be rejuvenated by
cutting them back hard.
