Default Hibiscus; again

Hi All,
Wonder if any one can help me here?

Last spring I bought 2 new hibiscus plants, called NewBiscus. They are specially grown for northern Europe, mainly England. They will have flowers up to 12 inches across and be the most beautiful shade of pink.

Well last year we had no summer just rain, rain and even more rain. Most of the buds just fell.

The woody part of the plant seemed to die off during the winter, even though the growers said I could leave them out in all weathers even, frost and snow!!

I uprooted them this weekend, and the roots look very healthy, so have cut back the dead wood and re-planted them in new pots.

Do you think they will come back to life? Or are they gone for good?
