When do you cut back or prune clematis

[Cetti]

It depends whether it's a Spring or Summer variety. Spring flowering - immediately after blooming, and the Summer bloomers in early Spring - both light pruning. Varieties which flower in late Summer or early Autumn need harder pruning - in early Spring cut back to within a few inches of previous year's growth.

Great advice from Cetti. Here's a site that should be helpful for pruning your clematis. http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/clematis/clemindx.htm Newt
