I have two hibiscus bushes and this is the first year they like to lay on the ground . What can i do - they are so beautiful.
You may need to do some corrective pruning to balance the lopsided shrubs. Prune during mild weather so the plant can recover easily, avoid pruning when a cold spell is coming on. Remove stems to about 6 inches from the ground that are misshapen, crossing other branches, damaged or top heavy, causing the plant to lean one way.

Every year my hibiscus plants develop circular black spots on the leaves. They yellow, turn brown and fall off. It doesn't seem to hurt the blossoms though.
This sounds like it could be a mild fungal infection. I would suggest using a fungicide on the upper portions of the shrub. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm
I would also treat the soil with a handful of DOLOMITIC LIME and a teaspoon of WETTABLE SULFUR once or twice each year. This will help to prevent the issue in the future.

They cross pollinate and do not stay original color that I bought if they are side by side on the patio.
This is not a cross pollination issue. A cross pollination issue will only show in the next generation seeds.
I'm afraid that this is caused, partly, by genetics and also by environment. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/hibiscus/hibiscus-turning-different-color.htm
My hibiscus bloomed great when planted, but stopped blooming after 3 months in Savannah,GA. Planted with Miracle Grow in sandy soil.
Most miracle grow products contain slow release nitrogen, and quite a bit of quick release nitrogen. This will halt flowering. This would be my first guess. You will have to offset this with potassium and phosphorus, or by raising the pH just slightly.

We resently cut back our hibiscus plants. Now they have not produced any new blooms.
Cutting them back anytime outside of early spring will result in less blooms. It is important to only cut them back in early spring except for tip pruning.

Winter? We live in Idaho, so it gets cold in the winter. I didn't know if I could wrap the tree & put straw around the trunk to prevent frost damage.
It will depend on the type of hibiscus that you have. Some are cold hardy, and some are not.

I have a hibiscus plant that I bring in when weather turns cool. It has really grown in the pot. What time of year should I cut it back.
You can do light pruning and tip pruning during the summer but the serious pruning should be done in spring.
