Clematis

[Suetheramble]

I have 4 different types of clematis in my garden no idea whats whats in the clematis world. One has just started to sprout green buds. I was unaware there is different times to prune these plants but have just looked it up and for different plants there are different times to prune. Is there a time when I can prune at the wrong time without doing to much damage?

If you’ve still got the name tags on, you can check for each which is the best time to prune.

If you're not sure the RHS advises:
Unsure of which pruning group

If you are unsure or forget which group your clematis fall into, observe the flowering time on your plant and use the following simple guide;
•Flowering before early summer (June), do not prune
•Flowering from late June onwards, prune in late winter (February)

So that would suggest to me don't prune anything now

Being lazy I think I will go for the "don't prune" answer! I do still have the name tags sadly taken off the plant and stored in the shed at the time assuring myself I would remember which as which :-(
Hey ho you live you learn.
