Help! I’ve mixed up my clematises

I bought two* bargain corner clematises - one montana grandiflora and one montana Warwickshire Rose (similar to montana Rubens) - and I put them on the windowsill with their respective labels, to await planting.

But the more I look at them, the more I think I may have mixed up the labels! The vigorous one on the left with the darker, browner leaves I think looks more like the Warwickshire Rose/Rubens-type, and the less vigorous one on the right with the brighter green leaves might be more like the grandiflora....

I could really do with some second opinions before I plant them, as I have two very different spots in mind. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to which is which?

  • OK, I bought 6 really. The other 4 were late-flowering ones though and have all been correctly identified and planted though! I can’t resist the bargain clematis corner Grin

If it helps, I think the one on the left with the larger leaves is Warwickshire Rose. Love a good clematis.

Yes that’s what I think too! I could have sworn I put the labels down correctly but that one on the left really does look like the Warwickshire Rose, doesn’t it?

Thanks for responding!
