Yes Helen, you got it This is a photo of the label, and I have also got a print out from the garden manager there which lists every clematis they have and also exactly where they are all planted.

Susan, that was quite a find - can you tell us what garden you found it in. Will you be sending a picture to CotW?

Hello Paul & Jane, I have informed CotW about it. We also went back to the place on Sunday to take a photo of some other clematis and discovered the label attached to the obelisk. CotW are away at the moment but I have promised them a photo. It's taken at Wollerton Old Hall, we went there for lunch on Sunday, very nice too. Please see my 'Alionushka' posting as I took another there called 'Black Madonna' 'Mienie Belle' is in flower at the moment there too, along with a lot of others. They tell me they have never taken any cuttings of 'Black Madonna' and I suspect that applies to 'Prince of Wales' too. 'Mienie Belle' has breeders rights on it. Have either of you ever been to Wollerton?

Susan, I haven't been to Wollerton but have just been on to their website and taken the virtual tour. I see that their plant nursery sells a lot of plants that have been propagated in the garden. Wouldn't it be exciting if they would consider taking cuttings of these plants and then offering them for sale?

I think the labels looks right, but I have my doubt about the plant as it seems to light in colour to be the same cross as 'Jackmani' and lighter than the description on this "lost" Clematis hybrid.

Hello Peer, Nice to see you back, and hope that you and your wife have had a thoroughly nice time. About 'Prince of Wales', well I don't know what to think over this one. Maybe, if some of the clematarians who have a special interest in the large flowered clematis varieties were to see it in full flower next year it would help. It is certainly beyond my limited knowledge of clematis, to know, one way or another.

There used to be a late large flowered plant of this name, purply with a reddish bar, one of Jackman's hybrids, but whether or not it is still available, I doubt.

I visited the Hall today and spent a couple of hours to meet the owners, take photos and bring samples back home. I will put some photos on my site archive later today.

Hi Sue, It was only a 120 miles round trip. It was a very interesting day. Thank you for helping me out with info. Paul has completed an article for the 2008 Journal and I will include some descriptive notes and photos from me, in it. I don't quite understand one or two things about it. But more time will have passed by then and I might have further information soon. Some more flower photos would be valuable but it will flower again next year and is a strong plant. Did you see where a vine had layered itself at two nodes? The roots from the nodes were clearly visible. The (very nice) owners say it is ok for me to go and propagate it next year so I will go and take cuttings early on in the season once growth gets under way. It was a pity I'd missed the flowers, but then again it was only due to mildew that there were no flowers right now. There were lots of seedheads but I couldn't locate any fertile seeds at all, not even a single seed in a head, nor any loose on the ground. I'll keep you informed of any developments.

Brian Yes, I saw that a vine had layered itself at two nodes. The owners indeed are very nice and helpful and the place is beautifully kept too. I love the hollyhocks there, they really look well with that type of property.
