Magazine (17 Aug 1895) Page(s) 117. Clematis Princess of Wales. — This is a fine variety. The colour is bright lavender and its blooms are each about 6 inches across. I saw a specimen in flower a short time back which had been planted against a house four years, and it had upwards of a hundred blooms fully out at one time. The showy character of such a plant may easily be realised.

Magazine (29 May 1875) Page(s) 684. MESSRS. JACKMAN'S CLEMATISES. Messrs. Jackman & Son's popular exhibition at Regent's Park has now been brought to a close, and we may fittingly call attention at its termination to some of the charming novelties which it has been the means of introducing to our notice. [...] Several fine novelties of the lanuginosa set were added during the later days of the show, and among them the following: Princess of Wales, with very broad sepals, which are slightly recurved, giving the flower a distinct outline. In this and several other varieties of the same cross the sepals are so broad that the four inner ones meet, so as to produce of themselves a close flower. The colour in this case is a deep, smooth-looking satiny mauve, and the whole character of the plant is regal.
