No not really, I tried one outside it survived but got cut back to the ground and didn't flower. This was in the greenhouse for the winter min temp around 2c, I put it out for some fresh air in the mild weather :o)

That's good that you can keep it in the greenhouse , we have stopped heating ours , we have been putting fleece over the plants when it's freezing we have been incredibly lucky this winter most plants have survived ...
