Is full dormancy necessary for plumerias?...

My two plumerias, Mardi Gras and Celandine, are at the greenhouse for the winter. They are situated in a sunny area, day temps in the 70's, night temps in the upper 40's-50's. They both developed inflos late in October, which have yet to flower, and a few branches seem to be pushing out new foliage. I keep them on the dry side, and they seem to be happy. They have dropped a few leaves, but for the most part still have most of their summer foliage. I read on here all the time about plumerias going dormant for the winter. Mine have slowed down their growth quite a bit compared to summer, but they seem to be a long way from dormant. Is it OK to just let them "do their own thing"... And be green... Or do they need to have a proper dormancy?
