How do I winterize hibiscus trees?

I am new to gardening and planted hibiscus trees. I need to know how to winterize them. I live in Ontario

How do I winterize hibiscus trees?
There are two types, one is a tropical hibiscus and you will have


to bring it indoors.





The other is a perennial hibiscus and right after the first frost


cut it back even with the ground and sit a bale of hay on it until spring.
Reply:Bring it inside. Hibiscus are tropical plants and cannot survive the winter.
Reply:make sure to spray it with Insecticidial soap. You'll bring alot of bugs in if you dont!! I learnt the hard way. Spray in a garage or shed, put a garbage bag over it for 24 hrs then do again. Be sure to spray the soil too
