They only refer to the lowest expected temperature during the year.  I'm in
zone 5, which means that we expect temperatures to drop as low as 10 to 20
degrees below zero Fahrenheit during the winter.  It may be for only one
night.  Zone 8, for instance, that is prevalent in the American South, also
resides on the west coast.  Somewhere there's an equivalent chart or map
for Europe, and I think you're probably in zone 7.  Try
http://www.klippo.se/nilsson/eurozoner.html   The expected low temperature
in zone 7 is between 0 and 10 degrees above 0 Fahrenheit.  It's a good idea
if you familiarize yourself with this because things are on the brink of
being more confusing.  The American Horticulture Society is coming out with
heat zones too.  Margaret
