Now! For advice, see here.
(If you cut too far back, the branch won't produce flowers till next year).

I've just done mine kath, after spotting advice on here. Now we're in for freezing weather - so fingers crossed!

I've done a couple of mine but was advised to wait a bit longer in case frost destroying the new growth,

[sunnyday2d]

cetti, me to as you say fingers crossed.
kath, thanks for your reply.

you were wise, to hold back, looking at the
weather outside today.

you should not prune the dead flowers until after the last frosts as the last seasons dead blooms protect the new shoots from fost damage

but will know for future reference.
