I pot mine up, move them somewhere cool, but frost free and keep them slightly damp until next February, when I put them somewhere warm and start them into growth again.
There are ashtrays of emulsion, for the fag ends of the aristocracy.
if you live somewhere mild, and have soil which doesn't stay too WET, you can leave them in the ground. Even in here in very wet N Devon clay soil, they stay in over the winter. A ganble which has worked with me for years.

Thank you, do you pot them up in just compost?
when I've lifted mine, I just shake off the bulk of the soil, and leave some clinging to them. that's enough to stop them completely drying out.
Mine are already in large plastic pots. I just cut them down and leave them to overwinter in the garage. The garage has no front so open to the elements but they are far enough back not to get rained on or suffer from frost
