Gale, I grow a lot of different clematis in the Cincinnati area, z6a. They
say that the secret is to plant them where the roots remain cool, such as at
the base of something else, such as a shrub or rose, and then let the vines
climb up into the sun. I do this when I can, but it isn't always possible. I
haven't found that they need any particular care. A mulch could also help
keep roots cool.
