Default Can bamboo be watered during frosts?

Thank you for your replies.

The bamboos are too big to bring in doors and can not be planted
either, is it possible to wrap the pots in some thing to help protect
against frost?

No
They will need the warmth that comes from the ground to successfully
overwinter in zone 6 you can leave them in the pots but you have to
sink the pots into the ground and mulch them. Or buy replacements in
the spring.
If you cant dig perhaps you can pile up soil around them and then
mulch heavily?
