    Cutting them back to the ground is one possibility. If by chance some are still alive, they should grow back next year.

    Here are some other options. Removing dead shrubs should be easier than live ones. Even if you can't get all the roots, completely dead ones won't grow back.

    Yes, these plants don't seem to tolerate freezes at all. Your best move now, would be to propagate some of this in container and bring it in when freezes are expected.

    Yes. They can stand that temperature just fine. I think keeping it under horticultural lighting will be a good idea. This will ensure that it survives.
