i have a cotoneaster that still has its berries from
last year. i just root pruned it recently it seems
to be coming back strong with new buds. anyhow,
i'm curious if i should remove the berries to allow
for this year's flowers and new berries? or does it have
no bearing on the newer growth?

Won't matter. The plant has already put all the energy it's
going to put into the flowers and the berries. Usually, the
berries are a bit disreputable looking by this time, though, and
should come off just for that.
