Our clematis vines are around our mailbox. I don’t know how to care for them. . . in the spring or in the fall. I live in mid-Michigan. Can you help?

Hold off pruning until early spring for most types or following bloom in others. This article may be helpful: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/clematis/growing-clematis.htm
