Naked Azalea

Last spring I reduced a 4' azalea in a nursery pot to about 18" and placed in the shade to recover. It had a great summer, putting on foilage.

This spring it began to bud out when a severe cold snap hit (It was in an unheated sun room.) The few leaves on it turned black and crispy and I removed them.

It has been 4 or 5 weeks since the leaves were removed and there is no sign of new buds. Stems are still flexible and a bark scape shows green.

Is it normal for azalea to take this long to bud out or is something wrong?
