Non flowering Clematis

I have several Clematis Plants in my garden that flower vigorously. However I have two Clematis Plants that have been in the Garden for two years, that have grown very strongly, but have never flowered. Any suggestions or advice will be welcomed

    Do you know which varieties they are Jakesey?  The reason I ask is that many of them are in 'Group 2' and those (usually) flower only on one year old wood.  If you cut those types back to the ground in the Winter (or they die off completely on their own accord for some reason) then they won't produce flowers.  The other thing is feeding - if they get too much nitrate and not enough phosphate they can produce lots of leaves and no flowers, but that is quite unusual.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
