I have had this jasmine planted for 3-4 years with no problems. It has

of the fence are doing better. I am in Raleigh, NC and the plant was
bought locally. Any ideas? You can take a look here

It looks to be what you would call Confederate Jasmine and we would
call Star Jasmine. I think you had some really cold weather?
It looks like frost/freezing damage. Cut off the brown dead parts down
to where there is some evidence of green. If you have to go all the
way down to the ground, there may be some regrowth from the roots.
Don's give up too early, my plumbago looked completely a goner,
but it now has a lot of nice green growth.
Good luck.

i agree with emilie that your plant has suffered from the frost/freezing damage.
if u want to see if your plant is still alive scratch a few of the vines and see if they show green underneath.
if they are then u know your vine is still living and will take time to heal.
i would trim them as emilie has mentioned and then just wait and see what happens. after all u have nothing to lose as the plant is already damaged and a bit of trimming might help it.
good luck to ya. cyaaaaaa, sockiescat.
