I cut them back to 3' in the autumn, but they have suffered badly.
They aren't dead, but most of the live shoots are near the top.
My concern is that, if I cut them back into very old wood, they
may not survive it. If I don't cut them back hard, they will
get out of hand. Any comments?

Leave them at 3', and take cuttings from what grows this year. Then
after the cuttings have rooted, replace the old plant if it is too leggy.
