Rangoon Creeper (Quisquallis Indica)

We had an unusually hard freeze and my Rangoon had not show any leaf buds yet, while my Brugmansias, Hibiscus and even my Champaca are showing signs of life. The Rangoon was well-established in the ground. Do these survive a freeze to come up from the root, or is all lost?

when I lived in Corpus Christi they would sometimes freeze and recover ,, other times they did not ,, There were some large ones in Weslaco in a nursery there that did fine ,, I don't think that nursery is there any longer from what I heard ,, they are difficult to propagate from cuttings ,,,

live in zone 9b - SW Florida.

the past two winters have been really cold - thought I'd lost my creeper - it didn't get covered - it's been in the ground 8-9 years and is against a decorative outside wall not attached to the house.

it has come back strong - not quite as many flowers this year.

Love this plant, would like to get a double blossom variety. Very fragrant.
