If its Jasmine officinale, I'd be very surprised if it were actually dead - do as Janey says and wait to see what happens by late spring. If some of the topgrowth is obviously dead, cut back to live wood.

It should, although it does rather depend when you planted it - if it was in autumn, it might not, if it was spring, there's a good chance.

it was spring last year bamboo........ it put on a lot of groth and looked very heathy but no flowers ................ o i hope it does urggg

Not worth fretting about - it had all summer and autumn to make root, so even if the topgrowth's been killed right back, you should hopefully get new growth from the base. And it's either still alive, or it isn't, and all your worrying will make not a whit of difference, lol! Have a glass of wine and put your feet up - you'll know in late spring;-)))

Unfortunately, my drinking days are over, Cristina - on a drug which only allows me one small glass of wine a day max. Not that I care, I never liked it much anyway. Now if they said I couldn't eat chocolate any more, I just might have to slit my wrists...

Mine's the same Cristina....it was just getting to a good height too, and a pressie from my daughter...:o( I think we'll just have to wait till Spring to see if there is any new growth sprouting...though I think we may have lost them.
