ABOUT
The Clematis Rosemoor, more informally known just as Clematis, is a strikingly ornate climbing plant renowned for its beautiful floral display. Its blossoms are characterized by velvety, richly-colored petals that exhibit a deep, vibrant purple hue, often with a satin-like sheen. They typically feature a prominent, eye-catching array of stamens at their center, which are usually a contrasting shade such as bright yellow or white, serving to attract pollinators and also adding an attractive detail to the overall floral composition. The flowers are generously sized and possess a classic, rounded shape, with each petal elegantly overlapping its neighbors to form a distinct, complete bloom reminiscent of a rosette. Clematis petals are wide and occasionally display slightly ruffled edges, contributing to their luxurious appearance. The plant's foliage provides a contrasting backdrop to the flowers, composed of fresh, green leaves that can range from lance-shaped to broadly ovate. The leaves offer a canvas of green against which the flowers are beautifully framed. As a climber, the Clematis Rosemoor is often found intertwining itself around supporting structures such as trellises, arbors, or fences, where it showcases its floriferous nature. With its propensity to grow upward and attach itself to various elements in its environment, it lends itself to being a vertical accent in gardens and landscapes.

WaterRosemoor Clematis should be watered deeply once a week, allowing the soil to slightly dry out between waterings. During hot and dry spells, increase watering frequency to twice a week, ensuring at least 1 gallon of water is provided each time for established plants. For potted Clematis Rosemoor, check the top inch of the soil; if it's dry, water the plant until you see excess water draining out of the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering in the fall and winter when plant growth naturally slows.
LightRosemoor Clematis thrives in a location where it receives about 6 hours of sunlight a day, preferring morning sun and afternoon shade. It’s best to plant it in a spot that shields its roots from the direct sun, either by mulch or lower growing plants, while allowing its vines and foliage to climb towards the light.
TemperatureClematis Rosemoor grows well in temperatures between 45°F and 85°F, but can survive minimum temperatures down to around -40°F once established, making it suitable for many climates. Ideal growing conditions are within the moderate to warm range, avoiding the extremes of both heat and frost.
PruningPrune Rosemoor Clematis in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Remove any dead or damaged stems and cut back remaining stems to the highest pair of strong buds. This encourages healthy growth and flowering. Clematis Rosemoor typically requires annual pruning to keep the plant vigorous and to promote blooms.
CleaningAs needed
SoilClematis 'Rosemoor' thrives in well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH, around 7.0. Mix garden soil with compost and a handful of lime to increase alkalinity. Mulch to retain moisture and provide insulation.
RepottingClematis 'Rosemoor' should be repotted every 2-3 years to refresh the soil. Ideally, do this in late winter or early spring before the growing season begins.
Humidity & MistingClematis 'Rosemoor' prefers outdoor conditions with natural humidity levels; it does not require specific humidity adjustments when planted in the garden.
Suitable locationsIndoor

Life cycleClematis Rosemoor, also known as Clematis 'Evipo002', begins its life cycle as a seed, which upon germination develops into a young seedling. The seedling grows into a mature vine, characterized by vigorous climbing behavior and the development of compound leaves. During the flowering stage, the plant produces large, velvety purple flowers from late spring to early autumn, offering several waves of blooms when pruned correctly. After pollination, the flowers produce fruits in the form of fluffy seed heads, which eventually release seeds to start the next generation. In the winter, the plant may die back, especially in colder climates, retreating to the woody base or root system, and then it re-sprouts in the spring, continuing its perennial cycle. Over time, Clematis Rosemoor can grow to a substantial size, requiring support structures to manage its climbing nature and to display its floral beauty optimally.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Propogation: The Clematis 'Rosemoor' is commonly propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings, which can be taken during the midsummer months when the plant's growth is still somewhat flexible but beginning to mature. To effectively propagate by this method, select a healthy stem with several sets of leaves. Cut a section of the stem about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) long, ensuring that each cutting has at least two sets of leaves. The bottom set of leaves should be removed, and the cut end dipped into rooting hormone to encourage root growth. These cuttings are then planted in a well-draining soil mix, with the remaining leaves just above the soil surface. It's crucial to maintain a humid environment for the cuttings by covering them with a plastic bag or placing them in a propagator, and keeping them in indirect light until roots have formed, which usually takes several weeks.
