Help with Plants!

My wife and I took advantage of the warm weather last weekend and did some planting.  She planted some annuals in two planters which are now inside (serving as an oversized centerpiece).  I also have a butterfly bush that I haven't planted yet sitting on the kitchen table.

I did plant some annuals (begonia and coleus) around a St Jude statue and I imagine I have to cover those up.  But what about rose bushes I just planted?  Hostas that are just coming up?  I also planted a clematis and was wondering what I should do about that.  Both the rose bush and clematis have started to bloom.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.  I know Dave Murray said to wait until after May 1st, but I didn't hear that until AFTER we had finished the planting.

I have a Japanese maple and a dwarf Japanese maple that have sprouted new growth (leaves, new branches, etc.) Do they need to be covered up with the frost expectation, or are they ok?

I am a 44 year old life long resident of North County who recently pulled up his stakes and moved into the city (Holly Hills). I really like it so far and enjoy being close to all the action. I have four children (three of whom are teenagers!). I enjoy following the weather as well as astronomy and stargazing. I also play board games (mostly old-style war games or new style euro games), chess, and am working toward my private pilot's license. I am also an avid reader and writer.
