I have always pruned my rosemary after flowering, that is fine and it
works but what do you do when your Rosemary is flowering right now at the
start of the winter :-)

Don't prune it now - winter frosts will damage the plant. Rosemary can
be a bit tender so take a couple of cuttings as possible replacements.

Yes I have got some cuttings waiting in the wings, isn't it fun to find
things flowering out of season, its a real joy on a horrid day altho today
has not been so bad so far :-)

Yes it is fun. My wife counted 23 different plants flowering in our front
garden alone including welsh poppies, cowslips, geraniums, pinks, fuschias.

Abutilon megapotamicum, Abutilon 'Kentish Belle', Abutilon globosum,
Malva x clementii, Malva 'Bicolor' and 'Princesse de Lignes', Meconopsis
cambrica, Anisodontea capensis, Anisodontea x hypomadura, Fuchsia, Hebe.
Also Anisodontea elegans and Malva canariensis, except that I've just
brought them indoors for the winter.

I've been noticing also sorts of stuff in flower elsewhere - Lobularia
maritima, Campanula persicifolia, Sidalcea, Geranium sanguineum,
Antirrhinum majus, Pelargonium x hortorum.
