Early spring is best.
Thank you ,,,I will leave it until spring
I don't know where you live, but on the Gulf Coast the rule of thumb is on (or around) Valentine's Day.
I trim mine in the spring. Get new growth cut out the old dead growth. I also trim back branches to the next node after flowers are spent This forces new growth and branches.
