Congratulations, sounds like you did OK. I am hearing some pretty scary stories about cold damaged plants in parts of FL. We never got below 30 but I still had some fried plants like this garden variety red hib that is in the ground. It is over 7' tall, it will come back for sure but it will take a while. It went through the first couple of cold nights just fine but by the 3rd day, it gave up. I have about 5 other large hibs in the ground that look just like this one.
