new clematis

we're determined to sort our garden out this year - get a bit more colour into it and keep it nearly weed-free. we used to have a huge white clematis that was trained round our summer house (now cinéshed) - but it went mental and grew right up into the plum tree, really weighing it down. we cut it back, but it died - so we bought a new one last week with lovely pink flowers. our garden should be more bee-friendly, so I'm taking tips from here.
