Botany / climate
English term or phrase: frost-prone climates
Can I tell "climat tempéré" or is this term too restrictive?
I aslo think about "climat semi-continental", but I'm not sure.
Please help me.
This term often appears in the book I'm translating. This book speak about "Flowers" (how to grow them). And they specify that in frost-prone climates, you have to protect the plants during the winter.

I thank you in advance,
