A Stunning Deep Pink Climber with Bronze Foliage
The Clematis montana 'Freda' is widely admired as one of the most beautiful varieties of the vigorous Montana group. Unlike the pale pinks of its cousins, 'Freda' boasts flowers in a rich, deep cherry-pink hue. These charming four-petalled blooms appear in abundance during early spring, creating a vibrant spectacle that signals the start of the gardening season.
What truly sets 'Freda' apart is its foliage. The leaves emerge with a distinct deep bronze-purple tint, providing a striking contrast to the bright pink flowers and remaining attractive even after the blooms have faded. As an RHS Award of Garden Merit winner, it is a reliable and vigorous grower. It is perfect for quickly covering walls, fences, and unsightly garden structures, yet it is generally considered slightly more manageable in size than other Montanas, making it suitable for a wider range of gardens.

Gardeners wanting a Montana with deeper colour and better foliage
At The Rose Press Garden, we love 'Freda' because it offers the best of both worlds: the vigorous, wall-covering power of a Montana, but with a richness of flower and leaf colour that is simply unmatched in its class.
