No. In fact when you cut flowers from shrubs they tend to proliferate and bring you many more. Dahlias are like the this. The more you pick the more you get.
Yes. You "trim" or "deadhead" during the growing season for two reasons, one to keep tidy and two, to promote new growth and more blooms. "Pruning" is typically done in late winter to early spring. Here is information on both trimming and pruning.
Elizabeth, I was always told that "dead heading" your roses will help them bloom more. I have always cut the roses just above a 5 petaled leaf. A very nice, old time gardener taught me that trip and I had beautiful blooms. Good luck.

I do realize deadheading encouraging future blooms. But my Roses don't seem to agree. Thank you for your encouraging words of wisdom.

Wait until the blooming is finished before trimming.
