What are my chances?

Well, about a week ago, while dealing with construction of an addition, 30 yards of top soil got delivered for the gardens. I wasn't expecting it for weeks yet, but DH decided he wanted to get on with things. Anyway,I had half an hour to scurry around and dig up whatever I wanted saved. The garden beds got extended and raised by about 18 inches. Since this is a new house to us, there was not tons I wanted, but there are some nice things. I figure I've got a reasonable chance with the ones I dug up. BUT.. What do you figure my chances are of survival for things I couldn't get to...there are 2 or 3 nice clematis, a weigela, another pretty bush I haven't identified and some lilies. Its probably a given that the tons of lily of the valley will all come through, even though I wouldn't mind losing some of those! Are the rest toast? If I give them lots of water will the now very deeply buried ones have any chance?

Thanks
Lillian, Zone 5
