Spring flowering - immediately after blooming, and the Summer bloomers in early Spring - both light pruning.
Varieties which flower in late Summer or early Autumn need harder pruning - in early Spring cut back to within a few inches of previous year's growth.
Great advice from Cetti. Here's a site that should be helpful for pruning your clematis.
