Is it worth overwintering geranium cuttings?

I've taken a few from the parent plants which are now on the compost heap but I don't really have anywhere terribly suitable to keep them. I've got them in pots, covered by bell cloches in a partially covered potting shed area but suspect the cuttings are not very frost hardy?

I think it depends on whether you have one you particularly like. They will need to be frost free though.

I have tried in the past, Primrose, but don't think it's worth it unless, as GL says, you have one you particularly treasure. I have found that the unheated greenhouse and garage are too cold and they get frosted and the spare bedroom, even unheated, is too warm and the plants go leggy and/or get greenfly.
New ones are so cheap in spring that I no longer bother with overwintering.
