I did lose a red to frost last winter. I try to put the more tender ones close to the house since the stucco holds heat for them. Our back yard gets sun almost all day, so that works well. For the smaller ones I get tomato cages and make covers so the frost can't touch the leaves. And for most I put a nice layer of mulch around the base of the trunks.
