Bill, your temperature zone is lower than a camellia japonica and about at the tolerance of the c. oleiferas.

I waited until AFTER buying groceries to move the pots into my garage. They were frozen to the deck in the most protected corner by the front door. I think the buds may have blasted on the japonicas and their leaves have lost their sheen --just in a few hours. With gardening I am a daredevil I guess. Here they are sitting on a humidity tray in their "hospital," the unheated garage under our house.
