What is wrong with my jasmine and what can I do to save it?

I’ve mulched and fed it with slow release. Is it brown spot? Any hope of saving?

Is it in the ground? That happened to mine. I dug it up and out it in a pot, ignored it and now it’s fine again.

I could be wrong but the chlorosis of the leaves plus the fact that some of them are turning a brownish pink colour might indicate a phosphorus deficiency - but you've already fed and mulched it, maybe it will improve gradually over time, especially if food is slow release. What did you mulch it with, and have you checked the ph of the soil is correct (should be 5.5-7 I think)?

Only mulched and fed a couple of weeks ago. It was slow release too.

Is this trachelospermum jasminoides (star jasmine)?

I have one of those which has not thrived in my garden.

Yes it is. I have clay soil and clematis didn’t like this area of the garden either but roses have been v happy.

Ive now pruned off a lot( I know it won’t flower this year now) and will see if it gets greener. If not I guess I may need to pull it out or try it somewhere else in the garden.
