I generally do mine in the Spring so that I can cut off any winter kill that happens at the same time. The extra branches and leaves will help to winterize the shrub by insulating it when the snow falls.
Hi! Pruning shrubs and bushes depend on what kind of plant they are, really. For example, you dont want to prune shrubs that bloom in the spinng , in the fall or winter... like lilac. You’ll be cutting off the flower buds that would provide the spring show. The time to prune a spring-flowering shrub is shortly after it has finished blooming, before it forms next year’s flower buds. But mostly, late fall/winter is a good time for most. I wait until the first frost here in Pennsylvania
