You should have no problems, at that stage buds can take much colder.  See this chart which is a very handy reference:

Hi, My Reliance peach is full of unopened blossoms. It is expected to go to -2 celsius tonight and -1 for the next few nights. Do I worry? Do I try to cover the tree? I also have Asian pears, other pears, apple trees in about the same state.
