Sure you can. It's call Fall planting. You're only slightly colder than Tampa and you can plant the more cold hardy bamboos. When we plant in the Fall or Winter on the SunCoast, we have to make sure we keep the plants watered because Fall, Winter, Spring is consider the dry season on the SunCoast.
Most of my plants waiting to go in are not very cold tolerant (B. lako, B. v. 'Wamin', Mexican weeping, B. doli. 'Green stripe'). I do have a B. m. 'Alphonse Karr' sitting in a pot though...

Yea, I see what you mean. A. Karr can go in the ground now, but Spring planting for the rest.
