fried clematis

We had a very hot dry summer here in the upper midwest and I think I may have lost a Dr. Ruppel clematis.

I planted it two years ago on the south side of my pale cream brick home (feet in the shade under a nearby bush). It began to climb nicely in the spring and got about 5 feet high and then literally fried in the heat (both stems and all leaves are crispy brown). It was watered regularly, but I think the heat radiating off the brick toasted it.

Anyone care to speculate on my chances of it coming up again?
