Charlie, I've wintered single TB's over in mum pots.  It's not ideal  but 
will get you through the winter and is a lot less weight to transport.   And less 
potting soil to buy.  Wouldn't want to leave them in the  pots past spring.  
They will crowd and distort plastic pots and won't  grow well.  
 
Place them along the east or west side of a building, if possible, to  
protect from winds and excessive drying.  Less maintenance.

If you  don't cross them, you'll won't have to plant them! Bah! Humbug!! Hot 
summer!
