How to save Begonias for next season ? ?

we have aquired 2 lovely begonias in containers that we feel we must save till next season, anyone give me any advise on how this is achieved ??
:dh:

 

Im in the process of doing this, take out of the pot, wash the compost off and cut all of the shoots off, you are left with a roundish Tubor, let them dry out and then wrap them in newspaper, place them in a container with a lid and keep them in a frostfree shed/garage.. dont forget to label them if there different colours..

 

Does this only apply to tuberous begonias?

 

Im not sure, its the first time ive done this and im going on the info (with pics ) from another gardening forum...

 

Is now a good time to lift them or should I wait until the foliage and flowers die off completely ? ?

 

Ive already done mine Amanita, i have a weeks holiday so im gett'n my garden ready for winter, Its up to you really, the weatherman has forecast a mild week so i suppose you could leave them a while longer Its so hard to dig plants up when there still looking Beautifull tho..

 

I agree it is a shame to lift them when there is still some colour, But like ydd I have taken all mine up and cleaned the tubers, And then put them in wine boxes with all the paper from my shredder under and over them, They are left like that until spring, I left them a lot later one year and they were very wet makes the job a lot harder then good luck
