Aeonium cuttings over winter - greenhouse or indoors?

My Aeonium grew too tall so earlier in the year I cut the top off, and cut the stem into 3 pieces. They have all rooted, and show roots and growth. Can I over winter them in an unheated greenhouse, or do they need to come indoors. I have an spare bedroom I can use, I have the radiator turned off, so it's not too hot.

    I over winter in a small cold greenhouse here in NE England. Some that are too big just get sheltered against the house wall some years they survive sometimes they don’t.
    I have kept small rooted cuttings on my bedroom window sill but they tended to get leggy.

    If they have rooted happily, a cold GH will do

    Thank you, cold greenhouse it is then! I was just worried that the tiny new shoots on the stem cuttings are just too small and delicate. It was my first ever Aeonium, my husband bought it for me from Lullingstone Castle.

    I live in the SE, so it's not usually too cold, but who knows what kind of winter we're getting this year!
