Cutting back in fall will reduce next years flower . If this is not an issue cut back right after flower next spring . Either way flower will probably be reduced for a year or so . As new growth comes up , best to prune that to make them fuller plants . Maybe prune new growth in half or just nip a couple of inches , depending on size .
