We just drain ours and keep them rolled up outside. :)
Disconnect the hoses and place in garage, shed, protected area so they last longer. You also need to bleed the lines dry so the pipes don't freeze and burst.

Make sure the hose is empty and wind it up into a large planter or bucket cover it with a waterproof cover or store under covered patio furniture if no garage or basement.
Are your hoses rubber or plastic?
Plastic hoses can't be stored outside/ in unheated space if you live where the temperature drops below freezing in the winter, as they will crack.
