Pawpaws

Help! I'm getting a couple of barely-rooted separated pawpaw suckers next month. What is the best way to overwinter them? I'm in US zone 5, southern NH. The host trees are not terribly far from here, same zone.

My first instinct is to pop them individually into tall pots and set them in a sheltered outdoor location until spring. Would they be better off in the (unheated) garage? How much insulation do they need? Watering schedule? Anything else? TIA.
