Tree peony buds opening - need advice

Hi, everyone, I've "lurked" on the sidelines now and again; having only one tree and one herbaceous peony (would love to add more), I haven't a lot to offer by way of discussion, but now need some advice.

It's been mild here along the Jersey shore, and I noticed yesterday that the buds on the tree peony 'Feng Dan' are swelling and a few are even beginning to unfurl. With a cold front moving in, down to the high 20's at night, I'm worried. Should I try to protect these buds from the cold and what would be the safest method? I wouldn't want them to mildew or anything. This is the plant's second winter in my garden.

Thanks!

Diane
