For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If the clematis is in a good sunny area (at least 8 hours a day) you couldn't go wrong with any of a number of climbing rose varities. The nice aspect is you can select from complementing colors. This one or similar would go well with the <montana http://www.climbingroses.com/cgi-bin/browse.cg i?page=item&sku=sh705 . Keep in mind that roses don't actually climb, but many of the longer cane varities can be trained into your clematis trellis. The rose will bloom until frost and it will help keep the clematis' roots nice and cool, which they deffinitely like. Good luck...
