Default Helping Geraniums survive the winter

Yes, I know it's Spring, but I heard something the other day that I've
never heard before. I was told that you can take geraniums out of their pots
or planters, shake the dirt off until you get to the bare roots, then hang
them in the garage over the Winter. Then replant the following Spring.

I ask this because I have 8 geraniums bought at Marbridge Farms that I'd
like to keep from one year to the next. They are in immovable planters which
are part of my deck's railings. Has anyone heard of this before? Does it
work? I had one geranium survive the freezes over the winter and it's going
to be massive this year. Because of my schedule it's not practical for me to
cover them when freezing temps approach.

Thanks.
