Rosemoor™ Evipo002 (N)

An Evison/Poulsen cultivar introduced at Chelsea in 2004 as part of the Bicentenary Plant Collection. This “rose” coloured large flowered clematis has a distinct reddish/purple colour with yellow stamens, which contrast spectacularly with the colour of the sepals. Its flowers are 5-6ins in diameter and are borne both from the previous season’s stems and on current season’s growth, giving it a flowering period from May to September. Very good repeat flowering. Deep red with yellow anthers. It too can be grown with roses and other wall trained shrubs. It looks marvellous with ceanothus especially the pale blues, but other grey foliage shrubs with blue flowers make a marvellous foil for this cultivar. The volume of flowers it produces over such a long period of time is rather staggering.

Zone	4-9

Planting Instructions

Clematis grown in containers are a beautiful way to add height to a patio or courtyard garden. Choose a container 18" (45cm) approx. diameter for a single clematis plant plus support. For larger containers consider planting two or more plants per container. When choosing a container, Terracotta or wood are the best materials.

Alternatively, choose a host plant and dig a hole about 18 inches (45cm) deep.

Bury the clematis root crown 2.5" (5cm) below soil surface.
Loosen out the clematis roots prior to planting.
Use loam based compost such as John Innes No. 3 or well-rotted garden compost.
To aid drainage provide a layer of small stones or pea gravel at the bottom of the hole/container.
Finally, plant low growing plants at the base of the clematis to provide shade for the roots.
