These are supposed to be covered in scented flowers, has this one not been good? I had one like that and gave it loads of rose feed and it flourished 😊

comment
ShelleySnyder

@angiecrazycatlady it's loaded with flowers all right, the first year we got a killer snowstorm and killer freezing temperatures, we set all kinds of records! That was in early February, didn't bloom at all it had to be cut back, last year it was loaded with flowers again and for what ever reason at least half just fell off, I don't remember if they were fragrant, this year it's loaded again so we'll see 🤞 hoping for the best cuz I really do love the way it looks! 👇

#clematis #appleblossom top pic was taken in January, looked beautiful and bushy and a zillion buds on it! Bottom pic was taken today, leaves were turning brown and falling off, buds were turning brown and falling off, after the killer February so we cut it back and are hoping for the best!

Oh this looks healthy! Mine seems to have gone brown and died over the last few weeks unfortunately. I'm leaving it alone for now to see if it can be rescued with a good haircut and a new home when the weather warms up a little

@Mikekally hopefully a hair cut willperk it back up and it will be ok! Mine is new and was just planted about a month ago but some of the buds aren't looking so good, we'll see!🤞🤞👍💘😍
