I do cover tender stuff with leaves... The last two falls a Priest in my small town has allot of leaves and puts them in giant strong bags and I'm so grateful for them.  I covered lots of plants, but with the freezing and thawing plants don't like this treatment.  My Hybrid Teas and Climbers are probably the plants that will suffer, I have them next to the house and of course they keep a little warmer that way.  But the problem here this Winter is that it was already cold, like about -10 or -15 below and then it got warm like about 40 or 45 above and what little  snow cover we had melted.  Now were way down below -0.... Plants have to be tough to make it up here.

well we here in New York certainly are not getting our usual snow fall i am used to at least 4 foot snow banks . but i have not had one that is even 2 foot . a foot maybe where the snow plow went through but that is not enough . for the amoungt of water we need to make it through . till next winte i pray for a lot of rain .

Hi Mary Ann, I want to tell you that I also have a Japanese Lilac tree and its about 9'tall,in full sun and I have never had a bloom.  I planted it at least 5 years ago...... I live up in zone 3 and we have allot of them around that do bloom.  Maybe they have to be much older, I don't know really anything concerning this tree.
