Ruth,

I think I would just move the plants in the box into the warm area. I'd be
concerned about handling the plants themselves until they warmup just in
case their might be some frost in the cells. (Kind of like frostbite in
people.) You will be able to see frost damage fairly soon as damaged areas
will look a darker green than the rest when they thaw.

A box was waiting for me in our barn when I got home
today. Lovely plants (Degarmoara & Catt). It is 32F here
at the moment and the plants, even tho packed with a heat
source, were =very= cold to the touch. Can I just set them
with the rest of my plants at 72 degrees or should they
'chill out' for a bit in our basement (60 degrees) before I
bring them up? TIA
