I love them too, and now have another hardy red one and 2 tropical ones, white and the other one is shades of pink. You're in zone 5?? or Zone 6? I think they're hardy to zone 5, so I think I'd probably worry too. Maybe you could mulch them heavily in the fall to help them through.

Members' notes...
The swamp rose mallow is a multi-stemmed, shrub-like herbaceous perennial that grows up to 7' tall. It dies back in winter and re-sprouts in spring. The leaves are usually without lobes, 2"-3" wide by 6"-8" long, velvety (pubescent) beneath and smooth (glabrous) on top. The flowers are about 6" across, with white or pink petals and crimson centers. Some have heart-shaped leaves and huge flowers and come in many different colors.
Likes good garden soil. Feed and mulch well.
Light: Does best in full sun.
Moisture: Moist.
Propagation: By seeds or root division. Numerous cultivars and hybrids are available.
My first hardy hibiscus purchased from a private greenhouse. Sweet Caroline has lovely shades of pink.

I love these and have a couple clupms in white. They come up so much latter than my other plants and i always think that they didn't make it through the winter.
