II have a flowering currant which started to bud earlier this year which then was caught in the frost. There is now no green growth or flowers when usually it is beautiful. Does this mean that the bush is dead

I may have included my details in the question My flowering currant has usually flowered and should have lovely green foliage by now It was caught in the frost after starting to bud and now looks as it does in winter Is it dead or will it grow again next year?

The only thing I have used is Slug it. As it is organically friendly, it is a liquid you add to water. If you add to much your plants such as Hostas will have white rain drip marks, so mix it weak.
Any good garden centre should sell it.

it should grow again. Snip off the dead bits, this is what they call die back. You probably wont get any flowers this year but it should be ok for next.
How old is it and how big?
