Well, NW New Jersey can have cold winters. Was your other house in
NW New Jersey, too or further south?
You don't say which hydrangea you have, but I'd guess it's a mop head
(H. macrophylla), whose buds are generally hardy to USDA z 6, but
siting can make a difference. It blooms on old wood, so if the
flower buds get frosted by a very cold winter or a late spring frost,
then you won't get flowers.
