Clematis

Hello everyone
 
Can anyone tell what success they have had with Clematis.  I am exceptionally fond of the small flowered cultivars and species, but have found that C.viticella etc just will not flower well here.
 
I have great success with C. maximowitziana which makes 15ft with countless shoots, and mirriad white starry, fragrant flowers all through September. C.texensis Gravetye Beauty flowers from May to mid August - I then cut it down and it flowers again from October until Christmas. C. texensis duchess of Albany flowers from May through to Christmas without a breather. I love them all but that would not stop me from growing more.
 
Can anyone suggest other Clematis that would cope with our dry summer  heat?
