Apologies if the answer to this is simple, but I am new to gardening and
would like to overwinter some non-hardy fuschias. Am I correct in thinking
that I can cut back the root system by half, prune the growth down by about
3/4, transplant to pots and keep moist in the garage over the winter?
Any help greatly appreciated.

That's what I do, but keep them fairly dry. They will not grow much
for several months and if you keep them too moist the roots will rot.
Watch out for vine weevil, if you have had any problems with them in
the past. The grubs have ruined some of mine in the past.
