Clematis: 'The Queen of Climbers'

 I have had decidedly mixed results with clematis. Wilt seems the main killer. I read that the fungus spores can be introduced by too tight ties, or something that wounds the plant. But although I may be guilty of treating the plants roughly I am guilty as charged on pruning and providing proper frames. Lockdown has given me time to attend to the latter, whilst the pruning regime will commence when I hard prune all but the spring flowering varieties very shortly. The dead leaves and stems need to be removed as they take the eye. But mixed results suggest some were successful. In no particular order then.
