I forgot to mention that last year there was a tiny bit of what was probably
mildew towards the end of the summer. I cut back the affected parts but
this year it is ten times worse. Is it OK to cut back vigorously now even
though the plant is flowering?

Why cut it at all? It'll survive perfectly well, if a little
unsightly. If you don't like its appearance, spray it with a
fungicide.
