It's pretty cloudy right now, so this wasn't taken in full sun. Also if you do know the type it is, do you have any pointers or advice as far as growing them?

Clematis like to be kept moist, don't tolerate drought. Should love to climb the chain link fence. They like fertilizer and mulch. Many use Rose Tone or similar organics. I also use alfalfa pellets from a feed store. Almost all Clematis are helped by pruning especially when they are young. You can't hurt them by pruning them "wrong" they don't read books and know what group they are in.

If the color is off in your photo it very well could be Bourbon...https://www.gardencrossings.com/clematis-bourbon-clematis
