While i was in sunny Tenerife last December my mature Brugs were in a cold greenhouse and shed under wrap but we had many nights and days of very hard severe frost - when I got back I managed to move them into the garage but now (March) they have green on the lower part of the stems but the barks has all gone soft and sort of mushy but if you rub it or cut there is green on the hard part of the stem - will it send shoots on the damaged stems or do I just hope it send fresh shoots up from the base and cut the old stems to ground level - any advise please

Pauluk, Cut the stem back to the soil and allow the new shoots to sprout upward from the roots. Mushy isn't a good thing here.
Does this one have a name? Color?

Big thanks you I have taken a photo today so you can see there is green on the brugs stems but for sure my Sanguinea plant with the soft stems will need to be cut down (when I thought they are supposed to tolerate lower temperatures than the others
