True. The small footprint many clem's take does make it easier to take when they don't bloom.

Our montana Grandiflora bloomed beautifully this year as did a brand new Pauline but neither are the class 2 pruning category with the larger blooms so that makes me wonder about more spring warmth being needed for the class 2's to bloom profusely. Jackmanii also bloomed beautifully and it's a class 3 so it's just the 2's that failed us in the northeast this year.

If anyone in the northeast has had the class 2's bloom well this year I'd love to hear about it and see some photos.
