ORGANIZATION - HOW DO YOU DO WINTER REST?

[CTB]

Those of you in Florida do not need to worry much about winter rest. We barely have a winter and growing just slows down. I just cut back on all fertilizing and watering from Dec, thru, Feb. We don't stay cold enough for long periods. What works in Florida doesn't work up North.

That's what I have read also, however, what is proper winter rest than here in Florida? So far, after research and reading many blogs and pages and books, I am about to stop fertilizing sometimes between September-October, than I will also lower watering in fall, and like end of November I will stop watering for these in a need of winter rest, and water only when I see shriveling of the canes, till the buds start to appear. Is this correct for Florida?
