HI Everyone - I hope you can help. I have searched online to try and find an image similar to this one to help identify it. but no luck

It's been really neglected to it's got a huge number of dead woody stems taking up a lot of space in a small garden with no new growth on the woody stumps - you can't see this on the picture

The are only a few remaining stems and flowers like the one here. The stems are really really long and woody - maybe they are looking for something to climb up? There isn't anything suitable in the area.

I'm really tempted to dig it out but I think this is a real shame - if you can help me identify it and maybe give me some care tips I might be able to save it.....

What do you think?
