It also depends on the Clematis as to best time of year , the photo pic is H.F Young . This one I used Clonex , left it attached to plant , scratched the stem open , beneath the leaf set ,two leaf joints , coated with root get , and covered with soil ,
Regular garden soil , through a hole in the bottom of the pot the vine was carefully manipulated .. I got two the common info way (cut from plant and cover) , I got five through the pot method this way , four of them look good , .
The one in the pic has five runners coming up ,besides the two branches you see ,and enough roots (large) to wrap twice around a mans hand , (it came super nice )
Some clematis are cold weather , some are warm weather , some before they bloom , some after . (yes crazy if you let it)
Half to practice or hope to find info about your particular cultivar ..(as to when to take(make) rooting attempt.
My pot method allows for error while learning how (about cultivar difference) (I still am )
