Miss Bateman is currently languishing underneath the honeysuckle. She gave one weak little bloom this year. I want to move her, but if I dig a large hole, to properly remove the clematis, I could cause a lot of damage to the honeysuckle's roots. If I dig a smaller hole to get most of the crown, I might kill the clematis.

Has anyone tried to remove a clematis that is tangled up in the roots of a shrub? I was thinking that maybe the safest solution would be to air layer the clematis and leave the mother plant in place.
