You all have some nice colections of Paul Blacks, many I had to check out. Thanks for sharing.
My "Kiss of Passion" looked like it was dead too, but upon closer inspection it has a tiny bit of new growth coming. If it makes the winter it should be fine. I had two like that of a different cultivar last winter, and they came up strong this summer and bloomed. I think some spend extra time building a nice root system and then can do well the next year. I'm hoping anyway.
