Don't be in a rush to cut. I have learned the hard way, cutting something that looked dead but wasn't. (One can't stick it back on...) If something stays dead for a full growth cycle (like a year) then it probably is. Don't try to be too tidy, be patient.

As long as those leafless canes are still green, they hold reserves for the plant. And they can sometimes rebloom too.
