West Sussex,
United Kingdom 
Roses and clematis on a 4in square pole, 8' high.
I have made a framework round the pole with eyelet screws and wire. I've planted a wichurania rose and a clematis 'The President'. I would like to add a clematis alpina to get early foliage and flowers but I'm wondering whether this would swamp the other 2?

You need to think about the pruning times for each plant, as it will soon become impossible to prune one without damaging the others. The best Clematis to intermingle would be a viticella or texensis that gets chopped to the ground every spring. This would simplify things a lot!

I wouldn't recommend it - the rose and clematis you have are probably enough.
