Is my jasmine vine dead?

I planted a jasmine vine(white flowering) last year and it bloomed fine, however this year the vine looks dead. It's stems look like dead sticks. I haven't done any kind of pruning the vine yet. Is it too late to do that? I'm in Charlotte, NC. please let me know if i need to pull it and restart from scratch : (

If your jasmine has white flowers and blooms around Easter usually, it is probably a confederate jasmine, if that's the case, it is an evergreen plant so it may be dead. some kinds come back each year and some are green all year long so it depends on what kind of jasmine it is.
Reply:Im sure your plant will be fine! Try bending different vines between your fingers--if they are brittle and snap off,they are most likely dead-- cut them off---if they are still "pliable" and bend w/o breaking , then that branch/vine is still alive. In any case im sure it will come back full force--its one of my fav plants--good luck!!
Reply:You may have been hit by a frost a few weeks ago. Many plants are looking like but have patience, they are beginning to come back.
