If its a hardy jasmine like mine it will lose all its leaves in winter and look very sad! Mine has a lovely perfume in the summer evenings so worth the wait for new shoots and leaves and pretty white flowers. It does go a bit wild so needs to be cut back at the end of the summer.
I have fed mine, but not on a regular basis. Once it gets going theres no stopping it! Try cutting it back again then in the spring when the new shoots appear give it a feed.
Does that mean it has been in the open for the past 5 to 6 years?
If so a spring feed will probably help. Don't feed it now as it will produce tender shoots which will not survive frost. Hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like a honeysuckle to me.

mine is hardy but only grow to around 5/6ft... maybe I should cut it down slightly & then I will get a flower...
Jean, is your jasmine growing in full sun? It also likes a sheltered, frost free position .
semi sun/shade...reasonably sheltered but how can you protect from frost as it gets everywhere.. ha haaa
do you feed yours..I dont..
