Default black rosemary

I have 2 large rosemary bushes in pots near to the house. Just noticed most of the branches are black assume this must be due to the frosts we have had lately. Is there anything I can do to save the plant ?

If it were mine I would just cut out the bad ones and hope for the best.

If they're black it could be due to waterlogging. Cut them out anyway because they won't re-shoot. Rosemary needs really good drainage and if they have that they manage to come through most winters with only minor damage.
