I didn't know to cover these plants because they have never suffered leaf damage like this before. Will these plants come back in the Spring/Summer?

I think a lot of plants that usually made it through frost with no problem this year got hit especially hard. It killed our Bouganvillia which it has never done in our 10 years of living here. I see dead hibiscus all over town. Time will tell if we can salvage these plants by cutting them back but I think we have to wait until the frost threat is behind us before we do this.
