You must love Arabella! I'll have to check it out. Hurray for the rebloomers.

As I was working in one tight area I pulled on a clematis to get the old growth out of the iron scrollwork and, much to my shock, I removed growth of three clem's. Now Fireworks is a one inch stick, Duchess of Edinburgh (2) is a mass of short brown sticks and Lemon Chiffon fared best, now two sticks at 5" maximum. I gave them all an ES drink and with all the rain we've had I hope I see new growth in the next two weeks.

Good luck with PAF, Annette. I bet it will bounce back. Those edging guys give me grief, too. Either they go too far or don't go far enough and I'm left to tend to the edges with a scissors. In 96 degree heat it's just not fun.
