Okay, I went to the neighbors' house a few minutes ago and photographed their jackmani growing on a rosebush. Only one rose is blooming. The jackmanii is in its fall bloom period but we had a very hard rain today while I was in Santa Fe and there are jackmanii petals all over the pavement. I can vouch for the fact that both the clematis and the rose bloom -- not sure about whether they bloom at the same time or not, but there are actually 3 rose bushes behind the jackmanii.
The neighbors have family living in England where they claim everyone grows clematis on climbing roses. I have never been to England so I take their word for it.
