I haven't the faintest idea NO but I was going to chop mine back tomorrow.
I think that I will leave it until we find out what has happened to yours.
Fingers crossed that it perks up again.

Can you bear to leave it for a day or two and lets see what ideas people have??
Also any chance of a pic - it would help a lot and where is it - inside/outside. If it is outside has frost got it??

It's outside, on an east-facing fence-top trellis, in a big pot at the base (west side) of the fence. I suppose it could have got frosted, we did have a cold snap just after I did it. I thought they were pretty tough, but then I did take away a lot of honeysuckle foliage/stems at the same time, which could have been protecting it from the cold. I suppose I do have to consider the dreaded Vine Weasels, but it was perfectly happy and healthy until I started snipping it about  Will take a photo before I chop it/repot it/ whatever else I can think of to do to it i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd161/GWDAdmin1/Smilies/Default/rolleyes.gif |

Well if it is frost then the roots should still be ok and it will grow back. Keep an eye on it NO and let us know.

Just a few thoughts from me  I was thinking had the frost got it or when you were trimming it did you tug it a bit and maybe unsettle the roots, with it being a younster they may not be that well established or did you bend and of the stems. |

I wouldnt worry nightowl it will perk up once the weather gets warmer ;D I do the same as you and every year it looks sorry for itself untill the weather warms up ! they are better for pruning.
