Is my passion flower dead?

I'm in Staffordshire, UK and am worried about my passion flower. We had a really head winter and I fear the worst as there is no sign of life yet. My neighbour's is exactly the same. I can't remember it being so late to start growing before. Can anyone let me know if it should still be dormant or if it is a gonner please!

Ours still look poorly after the cold winter, I am just leaving them to come back in their own time.

Thanks Doc, when you say poorly ..... do you see ANY sign of life? I know you are further south but ........
LOL

Yes there are signs of life. Do the scrape the bark test, if it is green they are still alive, if they snap off they are definitely dead.

I have one on a south facing wall that is only just starting to sprout fresh shoots. My other is planted out by my veg patch by a tree. It was against a fence but that was taken down so its quite exposed and in shade. Nothing yet and looks like it took a bit of a beating in winter. Although i am sure its still alive. Give it a couple of weeks (if its warmer) and see and maybe more
