Tom ,I know if i were to do what Joseph's brother does and leave them in the ground, they wouldn't rot for me as i remember i missed harvesting a bulb a few years ago when i discovered in early winter 7-8 green shoots poking there leafs through.So yes i believe that would be possible if the soil is free draining enough the rot is not normally a problem.
