    Pruning does differ with Clematis varieties.
    Here is an article that will help you with regular pruning.

    I will tell you that I have also had some mature Clematis, varieties are unknown, that had also become a tangled mess and I needed to replace the trellis supports.
    I trimmed them back to 12 to 18" in height. Although I had less flowers for a year or two, my vines are in much better shape and have recovered completely.
    I find Clematis very hard and forgiving. I am in a zone 4 garden, so no pampering here!
