There are quite a lot of Coprosmas of various kinds growing outdoors at the Savile Gardens in Windsor Park, in their New Zealand garden. There are one or two gaps where some plants didn't survive last winter, but very few really. So plainly there are several Coprosmas that can survive that kind of weather quite OK, though they may defoliate.
