All oleanders are hardy in this USDA Zone 8b, Heat Zone 9a. They are not
evergreen as they are in Florida, but I've seen some with large north wall
exposure which are evergreen. Mine are out in an island bed in the front to
screen the bubba and his pink flamingo's next door.

Just cut em back to the undamaged part. They'll grow back. I've got some
Oleanders out by my shop bldg. that have been through at least 2 ice storms
and several other freezes with absolutely no damage. I can only guess that the
proximity of the trees and shop protect them. Maybe you need a few cuttings
from my "cold hardys".
