Default Hibiscus - Can it survive a winter around Toronto, ON?

Hello There,

I was walking through Wal Mart today and notice a beautiful flowering
tree. I decided that it would look wonderful in my front garden and
decided to buy it. It is a gorgeous tree which stands about 4 feet
tall with a crown on it about 2.5 feet in diameter. The flowers are a
huge, dark pink, 5 (or 6) pedal flower which has a magnificent center
on it.

I'm not a gardener by any means (which may be evident by this post),
but I planted it when I got home. I noticed on the tag (after I got
hom) that it said never to allow it to get below 50 degrees
farenheit. I thought this was a little weird as I live in Canada so I
decided to do a little research.

I have seen some posts saying that Hibiscus can stay outside for the
winter, another said to bring it into the garage where it can go
dormant and anoter said that it has to come in in the winter.

I'm confused, I don't know what to do. Please help.
