I have the same problem. No greenhouse and nowhere to put them.


An old way of 'over wintering was to dig a big hole, bury, (after cutting back)
and cover to a depth of at least 6 inches, don't forget to mark so you can find
them in the spring.

Tried that and its works, but now I bury them in a large box of spent compost,
and leave that in a sheltered spot, easier and I don't lose them :-)
