Gardenia Trim to Increase Blooms

Question

We live in Ohio. I have a 4′ gardenia tree under a patio roof with a southern exposure. The tree is blooming beautifully. My question is: When the flowers turn brown, where should they be cut off in order to increase the blooms? Will another one take its place? I’m trying to have them bloom for as long as possible.
