Teresa - layering is so easy and, as Louise said, it's something clematis are good at doing by themselves. Try it with an older stem just as Louise suggested. I put a white plastic bag behind this one to make it show up before I removed the leaves at the node and scraped the node area very lightly, then bent it (gently) down to the soft earth and covered it, to layer it. Then I covered it with a piece of wood. Roots should form by fall and I could move it then or wait until spring, which is likely what I'll do.
