Crape myrtles do fine in zone 7, they shouldn't die back in the winter. Assuming when you say angel trumpets you mean Brugmansia, those won't make it through your winter so you'd have to bring them in. Magnolias should also be fine in your zone but if you want smaller sizes you might have to do mail order. The Garden Watchdog on here is a great resource for what mail order nurseries are good or not, if you stick with companies that are highly rated then you shouldn't have too much trouble.
