The only part of NY that is zone 7 is a teeny part of Long Island. This would 
tend to give them not only the warmest part of NY but also a lot more 
moisture. Very similar to friends of mine on the jersey shore. Take the mulch 
off earlier, say early April. Putting it on depends on the year, some are 
warmer, but December should be fine also. No sense increasing leaf spot or 
other fun stuff...
