Pruning A Never Before Pruned Rose of Sharon

I have a rose of sharon that is at least 10 yrs old that is tall and lanky that has never been pruned before. It is about 8 ft tall with a main stem/trunk that is about 1 1/2- 2 inches wide. There is an area about a foot long, about 5-6 ft up the main stem that has no side branches coming off of it. I would love to trim this to get a fuller and shorter bush. I would like to make the plant about 5 ft tall. Are there any special precautions and/or technique I should take in order to cut this properly? Thanks
