It looks like octopus tentacles when cut like this.
If I can see clearly from the close-up photos, there are already young leaves. That would mean that your bush survived the frost and will grow back quickly.
Thanks and yes, it seems to already have some new growth. Mulch coming in another week or so to finish it off.
I expect you to post a photo of the bush happily growing in a month at the latest :-)
