I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas. Our winters here are cold with freezing temps and possible snow. My question is do I need to bring my Mandevilla inside during the cold months? Thanks

I have two very large Dipladenias in containers. They have been magnificent all summer. We had two nights of freezing temps and I moved them into our insulated well house for protection. Now the weather is warmer and I'm thinking I should move them back outside so they can get sunshine. How should I care for them for the winter months? Should I cut them back now....later.....not at all? My plan was to overwinter them in the well house.
I also have Tropical Bleeding Heart Vines in very large containers. They also have grown beautifully all summer and look really great. I moved them in with the Dipladenias. How should I care for them for the winter?
Anyone with this knowledge? Please share.....I would be so grateful.
