Default [IBC] Bought a Bogenvillia

Hi all,
I bought a Bogenvilla today and it is still blooming, it is deep pink. I
picked out one with a very nice "trunk" at the bottom and nice branching
beginning about 3' above the "trunk".. It is about
2-2 1/2' tall..... my question is do I leave it alone, (not repot,or cut the
roots) till it stops blooming, or prune it until it quits blooming or wait
till next spring to do anything to it.? Or prune it after blooming in the
fall. Will it loose its leaves in the fall or is it an evergreen.( I live in
southeast Texas)
And how much should I prune back the branches to begin to make it apper
like a tree?
many thanks for the answers...

A word about the virus, I began to get them first thing this morning and
must have gotten over 200 during the day, my hubby has fought them all day
and finally got my patches put in and most of them are now being caught..
