I've got 5 clematis plants all of which are at least 3 years old and I've not lost one yet even though they rather unwisely seem to start producing shoots just after Christmas!

So yes, yours should be fine.

Keep an eye on the metal fence just in case it gets too hot in the sun .

Some are easier to root than others.  The montana's and alpina's root easier than the  big flowered hybrids i find. I always give clematis cuttings  bottom heat with a plastic bag over the pot and get   good  roots after 6-8 weeks.

MIL has several jackmanii in her garden that are from bits she has just pulled off the main plant and stuck in the ground so try it, you've got nothing to lose and theres always room for another clematis :happy:

I've found that the montana clematis cuttings root better if the stems are cut halfway between 2 leaves/buds, rather than just under the bud. Seems odd but it has worked for me

I think they all root better cut that way mum I also dip the bottom of the stem in rooting powder.

When we were moving here 10 years ago I had over 300 rooted clematis cuttings to bring with us.  I left them all in the green house at our old house for my daughter to look after.  She managed to kill all but about 20.  I planted them here and the rabbits got most but  the remaining 6 flower beautifully
