An old trick in orchards is to turn the sprinklers on. If the plants are covered with ice, they will have little or no damage. But for flowers, the ice may be too heavy and cause damage by the weight. Perhaps you could turn the water off before the weight is too great. Smudge pots or smoky fires have been used with some success too, but this is in orchards. I'd guess you don't have too much to loose by trying.
