Hybrid flowering quince (Chaenomeles x superba)

A hard, prolific fruit is produced, which is too sour to overcome with sugar. The red flower is attractive, particularly in early Spring. There are two bushes in the garden area.

You seem to know quite a lot about all things green.
Is today (May 8) too early in the season to determine if my elderly grape vines (30 years plus) died over the winter? I don't see any growth yet, and quite a few of the vines have snapped off - due to a misguided readjustment of them by some people (not me). I suspect the main vines were damaged and brittle. I am heartbroken as these vines formed the most lovely enclosure around and overhead of my garden patio.
Should I just replant some grapes next to the old vines, and use the old vines as a trellis of sorts until it reaches the metal crossbars, etc. I have constructed as a support? How long does it take for grapes to grow? I don't care about the fruit, (raccoons do though!). I just want my lovely, idyllic grape leaved enclave back soon. I want a fast growing grape.
maybe I am asking too much of you...I had no idea that I would be so sad about the death of my vines. It was old world charm that made my backyard an oasis.
So, even if you don't have any good idea...I just feel better asking someone for advice!
