I was just looking at this site this morning… Flemings Flower Farm. They are one of the leading hybridizers of dwarf hibiscus. Here's a link:

As far as pruning goes, I would be inclined to prune very late or alternately very early in the year- before buds begin to set- as most (not all) varieties bloom at the tips of the branches. Pruning too late in spring will sacrifice much bloom- the plant will put it's energy into growing new branches and flower buds will be delayed.
