Tendrils of a climbing plant called Caytonia rotate clockwise.
Both Venus and Uranus rotate clockwise, as normally defined. However, the answer is "Venus", because that's the one that rotates slowly.
There are actually 2 planets that are different. Venus rotates counter clockwise. (Sun rises in the West on Venus) Neptune is tilted so far over that it rotates on its side. Instead of a North and South pole, it has an East and West pole.
Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets, a phenomenon known as retrograde rotation. Uranus rotates on its side, with its axis tilted at almost a right angle to its orbital plane, causing extreme seasonal variations.
Pluto apparently rotates clockwise, with its major moon Charon circling in the same direction. The clockwise spin is also true for Venus, which probably began with a counter-clockwise spin and was turned backward by a collision. The planet Uranus has been tipped over onto its side, so that from above the ecliptic plane it appears to turn clockwise. But it is still spinning in the same direction that it initially did, which is the common counter-clockwise spin of the Sun and most of the solar system.
All the planets revolve around the Sun in the same direction. As seen from a position arbitrarily "above" the plane of the planetary orbits (i.e. above Earth's North Pole), the planets orbit counter-clockwise.
The earth only rotates in one direction. It rotates clockwise.
Jupiter rotates on its axis, completing one full rotation approximately every 9.9 hours. This rapid rotation causes the planet to have an oblate shape, bulging at the equator and flattening at the poles.

Mercury rotates counter-clockwise (west to east), completing one rotation in about 58.64 Earth days.

An en dehors (turn) is one that rotates away from the standing leg and an en dedans turn is one that rotates towards the standing let. So, if the left leg is the standing leg, an en dehors turn rotates clockwise when viewed from above and an en dedans turn rotates counterclockwise. The reverse is true if the right leg is the standing leg.
Venus is the only planet in our solar system that rotates backwards, meaning it rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets. This unique characteristic has led to Venus having one of the longest days of any planet.
