Should I prune these clematis?

19 years ago

Just put up a new arbor and my 3 year old Ramona and Jackmanni got bent stems here and there in the process, but they are growing at the top. I hate to do it but should prune them down to about 2 feet above the ground? The Ramona has one sprout of growth halfway down but the Jackmani has an empty fragile stem below.

These clematis are in pretty deep shade and so have only had 2 or 3 blooms on them in past years. It's not like they are really robust so I'm a little scared of doing anything to them. :-)
