  It might have gall mite. I chopped mine down to the ankles , disposed of the clippings and they recovered. Get my diagnosis confirmed before you do anything drastic!

  In London. Keen but lazy.

  Agree looks like gall mite. I had it last year (well my fuchsias did) - one was chopped right down and looks ok this year and the other was only partially pruned and it came back a bit on that one. I don’t know if that’s the official diagnosis, or advice if it is, but just sharing my experience. 

  My garden and I live in South Wales.

  Been a bad yr for gall mite here.  I had to chop 3 Hawsheads down to an inch high about a month ago.  Already they are showing some regrowth.
