The general advice with any plant that might have been affected by the cold weather is to leave it until the spring, at least into May, to see if there's any life in it. I have no idea what climber this could be, but it would help to know, to be able to be more helpful. It may be that it dies back anyway, like some clematis, then regrows from ground level.
Could you please give us some more information?

Like the others say, "Orange Star" is probably the variety name of the plant - so there'll be another bit of the name in front of that, like, for instance, Solanum or Passiflora. I've googled Orange star and come up with Guzmania but they're not climbers, so more info please!

Quamoclit species such as Star Ipomoea come in orange. It is a climbing vine and might fit the bill. It is described as borderline hardy. so if it is this then leave and keep fingers crossed and hope it comes away from the base.
ooh curious and curiouser:o)
