Clematis 'Huldine', the best white clematis IMO. Prolific bloomer and extremely vigorous, here growing on an obelisk about 8' tall and covered with flowers for 2 solid months. This would swamp anyshrub smaller than 10' and should be reserved for plants in the 10-15' range and bigger, at least in zone 5. Be aware that clematis often take at least 3 years to really get going, and longer when planted close to a woody plant.
