Description

About Clematis Montana 'Tetrarose':

Clematis Montana 'Tetrarose' produces masses of gorgeous deep rose pink flowers each spring. The blooms are elegant and simple, the largest of the Montana varieties (up to 7cm diameter), with a sweet spicy fragrance.

Bronze-tinged foliage and red stems add interest once the flowers have faded. This is a vigorous climber (final height of up to 10m) that will quickly cover walls and pergolas. It will need a strong supporting structure.

For more varieties, have a look at full range of Clematis.

Great for your garden:

Clematis Montana 'Tetrarose' will perform best with its roots in deep, moist soil. It prefers full sun, but will tolerate shade and a northerly aspect, as well as coastal conditions. Give it plenty of room to ramble up or along - it is a vigorous climber - somewhere that you will be able to enjoy the fabulous spring display and fragrance.

Carries the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Look out for:

Aphids and caterpillars are fond of the young shoots

Follow planting instructions to minimize the risk of clematis wilt

All clematis can be affected by Clematis slime flux, a bacterial infection of damaged tissue that can kill large specimens almost overnight. Can be pruned out if spotted early.

Trivia:

This variety was raised at Boskoop Research Station, Holland, in 1960. It was produced using the chemical colchicine, which induces mutations in plants that can lead to new cultivars.

Planting Instructions

How to grow Clematis Montana 'Tetrarose':

Clematis Montana 'Tetrarose' can be grown easily following the Clematis planting notes.

  • Give it a deep, moist spot to bury its roots into.
  • The soil needs to be a well-drained (it won't tolerate waterlogging).
  • The climber needs a supporting structure - the plant will become heavy if left unpruned.
  • Final height of 10m makes it well suited to scrambling through large trees, or covering large walls/fences.
  • Pruning group 1 - no regular pruning required. If you want to reduce their size, prune immediately after flowering.
  • All clematis like a mulch of well-rotted manure or garden compost in late spring.
