    I can't even remember the flowers from last year, lol. But thanks anyway.
    Just googled it, the leaves look the same.

    When did you prune it? If it's montana then you should prune just after it flowers, as montana flowers on last year's growth. So if you pruned off last year's growth, it won't have flowered.

    pruned earlier in the year and it hasn't flowered at all this year so will take a chance and prune it soon and see what happens next year,
    Thanks

    If you prune it now, just do it lightly, then see what happens next year. Clematis is pretty tough so if you prune it at the right time you can prune pretty hard and it will 'regenerate' :-)
