Dead Fuchsia

Question

I am no gardener by my own admission, but last year we bought a fuchsia plant and now it looks dead, but is it? All the leaves have fell off and the stems look brown and woody. The same happened to our honeysuckle but that is on the mend. It has lots of new leaves on it and is climbing nicely, so I am undecided whether the fuchsia is dead or not. It is in a long planter, as we only have a yard. Can you help?
