With its charming display of delightful semi-nodding bell-shaped flowers, 'Etoile Rose' is a captivating deciduous climber, gracefully growing to around 3m in height. From midsummer to early autumn, these blooms enchant with their rich deep pink hue, blending into delicate mauve-pink margins and elegantly recurved tips. Creating a picturesque spectacle as it cascades over archways and through trellises, this cultivar provides simple and elegant blooms throughout the summer and early autumn months.
Clematis need their roots to be kept cool and moist, so plant the base of these climbers in light shade or provide shading with other plants or a dressing of pebbles. In early spring cut back the previous year's stems to a pair of strong buds about 15-20cm (6-8in) above ground level and apply a slow-release balanced fertiliser and a mulch of well-rotted garden compost around the plant, avoiding the immediate crown.
