I also live in zone 5. My understanding is that the oak leaf
hydrangea will survive in zone 5 but in severe winters it will
lose the flower buds. Mine is about 4 years old and is blooming
right now , but we had a mild winter and I make a contraption for
it. I put about two inches of hay between 2 lenghts of chicken
wire and then wrap it around the plant for insulation. The peegee
hydrangeas are the most reliable bloomers for zone 5

Mine have been blooming for a week or two. Hydrangea radiata (
arborescens radiata)
and H. arborescens just started.
One H. paniculata (Burgundy Lace) is sn't too far off. Most of
these will bloom much
later.
I can't really do H. macrophylla here in z5 New Hampshire.
