Expert Response

Use a continuous sprinkler system of water starting at 40 degrees and running until the sun comes up the next morning. Cover bushes with protective insulation material ex sheets, blankets, plastic sheeting etc or combinations of those materials. Try to get the covering to protect all the plant going to the the ground to help hold in heat.
