I agree with Geoff, Cotoneaster and Pyracantha may survive for a short while
indoors, but they are never going to thrive and will probably die
eventually. They are among the hardiest of plants and do really well in pots
outdoors.

Barry,
why would you want to keep it indoors?
I would think you would have problems with it, I tried to keep a Fuschia
going indoors, but it did not like it.
Where do you live? Zones dont mean a lot, I am in Basingstoke where I would
keep Cotoneaster outside, Same applies to Pyracantha, it is a hardy plant
and as such will not like being indoors, even a cold greenhouse would not
be
good for it.
Geoff.
