Hi all
I need some advice as to when and how to prune the following-

lavender
hydrangea
buddleia
clematis
small bush rose
climbing rose

all produced lots of flowers this year. Do I need to feed now or next spring

TIA



Hydrangea - do nothing now, remove spent flowers back to a pair of buds
in spring.
Buddleja take a third off now and hard prune in spring.
Clematis - depends on which type, if in doubt wait until early march,
look closly at shoot tips and if you see flower buds leave it alone,
otherwise hard prune.
Bush rose remove around half
Climbing rose prune back to main frame work
