Clematis are pretty tough - as long as there are some green shoots visible they are still alive and will be fine.

Now is about the right time to prune them (unless any of them are the early-flowering Montana type which are usually just tidied up after flowering.)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

as already said they are usually hardy, none of mine have buds on yet and I'm not worried about them at all  ;)

If the tops are damaged by severe cold they usually regrow from the base  :)

Mine always appear completely dead at this time of year.  After pruning they always bloom very well.  Hardy little bleeders :)

I would not worry, all my clematis came through last years winter and this year has been mild in comparison.

They are only in leaf because of the very mild autumn, Lucan. They should have been dead and dormant looking for long. As all say, they are fine.
