Default overwintering

If your geraniums are the hardy, border type they can stay in the garden.
If they're hardy, but alpine protect in situ by covering with a sheet of
glass.
If they are, in fact, pelargoniums (regal, zonal, ivy-leafed, aromatic) then
they will not survive outside. Cut them back - especially if you have lots
as it saves space - keep them in a frost-free, airy room with good light,
and keep them on the dry side.
Treatment for tender fuchsias is much the same.

Help please on the best way to overwinter geraniums and fuchsias, do I cut
off all growth? last year after potting up carefully and keeping in an
unheated room I lost all the fuchsias but did keep a few geraniums.
Labour saving ideas welcome. Thanks
