  it depends upon how much rains/snows you get and
if it gets dry otherwise.  pretty much just don't let
it dry out completely, but that should be a challenge
if it is planted deeply enough and the soil holds some
moisture.  you don't want it to rot and you don't want
it to go bone dry down deep enough that the roots die
off and they have to regrow for spring.

  if you watered them in that might be enough until
spring - it just depends upon what you get for rains
and snow cover.
