Or more correct question maybe:
What kind of care should I give now?
Prune it as you see fit, to the shape you desire, if it's done blooming.
OK, here's my question build on this. I have huge rhododendrons around my
deck. I have in the past pruned them back but not too much after
flowering ends. No problem there. My thing here is that I have been
afraid to cut them back 'too much'.
Is there such a thing as 'too much'? I would ideally like to cut them
back to lower than on-the-deck head height and this might be cutting off a
good third of the height. Will they branch out from old center wood?
If they're done blooming, cut them back. A third is fine. Thinning out the
center will allow better airflow to all parts of the exposed plant.

Can you be a closet claustrophobic?
