azalea for beginners

Hello all, I bought this azalea from a private seller in Florida. I like the material but I am a bit lost with it as I am relatively new to bonsai and I am unsure what my next steps really should be. The seller told me this azalea is girards crimson but a few have told me they don't think it...

I live in Kiev (Ukraine). Is there a difference in azalea care if I am not in Japan but in Kiev? 1) In winter, the azalea must be brought into a closed cool place (0-5 degrees). I need to remove most of the foliage from the tree in autumn? Are there any other features?
