I'm guessing low temperature and high moisture causes them to rot during winter.
You just leave the pots as they are or you cover them with anything ??
We have snow and snow makes an insulation over the ground to protect the root from wind, cold and moisture (snow actually dries things until melting), but England has rainy winters and the rain constantly soaks the soil when the plant sleeps and doesn't absorb any of the water plus the low temperatures ensures low evaporation.
During autumn dry the soil (keep it lightly moist, but not wet), place all the pots in a bundle in a corner, preferably where they're shielded from the wind and cover them with something to prevent soaking.
