Knockout roses should be pruned in the dormant season - generally between January and Late March, depending on your zone.

My answer to your question depends on where you're located. I'm in central Texas and pruned my knock-outs--not hard prune, but simply pruning it back--whenever it needed it regardless of season. Knock-outs are earth kind roses and very hardy. Pruning will delay your blooms but when you get them there'll be plenty. Again, I'm in central Texas. I don't know if that answer's good in your area, though I tend to believe it is. I'm sure you'll get lots more answers.
I am in PA. and trim mine as needed. You will delay the flowers, but they will come again later. Just trim the branches back to a 5 leafed stem.
