Duchess of Albany is similar, and gets many more blooms for me, than my Princess Diana. I wanted Diana to grow on the Japanese maple, Scolopendrifolium, and cover it but it never will. It does grow through it and does emerge once more way up at the top but it's not like it truly covers it. Maybe I'm too much of an optimist.

They're both too easy to prune and truly take care of themselves but you do have to pick up the vines once they detach themselves at the base. It's a very easy clematis to grow.
