Default When to Start Pruning

In article , Joanne
writes
3 years ago I planted a wiegela and a ribes. They are still fairly small;
the wiegela is approx 3 feet high, and the ribes approx 4 feet. Do I prune
them now, or should I wait until they're more mature in a year or two?

With both these you prune them after they have flowered.
Cut back the stems that have flowered to vigorous young growths
developing lower down on the main stems and remove any weak growth.
