How and when do I prune Autumn Raspberries?
Do I cut back the same as the summer ones?

Easy rule for all raspberries - cut the canes that have fruited (and
only those) down to ground level as soon as they've finished. If you
don't do it this way, make sure you cut autumn fruiters (only!) down
to ground by the end of January.
Cheers

Only problem with this is, that I've found the autumn fruiting ones can
start putting out flowers again, so you can go on picking until the
first frosts if you lucky. I usually leave the autumn fruiting canes
until February, then cut then down, before the current years new shoots
start to appear.
