arfitz,

Thanks! pretty much what i was going to do anyways--except removing all the leaves except the last whorl.

I have 6 cuttings. I will put them all in one of those really big 6-cell packs. They are almost like 3" pots each section.

I am not really sure if this is a PJM. The blooms are more red than purple.

I have NO garage. I have a shed--but that will probably also freeze if we have severe weather. I DO have a basement. It is part of the house, and there are no heat vents there. However, it only has ONE teensy weeny window up high, so there would be almost NO light.
I could set the tray on the windowsill. Watering would be very sporadic. I don't go there a lot to do anything in the winter.
If I keep them in the plastic, could they stay semi-dormant?

This is just for fun! I really don't care if they make it or not.

Here's a picture of the bloom. Can anyone ID this Rhodo?
