Pruning Gardenia and Hibiscus

Question

When and how hard do I prune back my gardenia and hibiscus before bringing them inside for the winter? I am in Zone 5 and both plants are outside in full sun. The hibiscus has bloomed all summer and the gardenia is getting ready to bloom for the second time (first time was in Feb/Mar. ).
