Where - outdoors?

They don't need to be in a heated prop - they'll probably go moudly due to condensation. If you're leaving them outside, just ensure the roots don't freeze. I've had some survive in an unheated GH, with fleece (folded 4 times) over them, but that was a mild winter (last year).

I've also had them survive fine on my kitchen windowsil, just pruned right back - and watered lightly a couple of times.

I think it also depends what variety they are, some are much more willing to remain as sticks than others! What varieties are you overwintering?
