Hello everyone, my question is when is the best time to shape or prune
my bushes i have grown from cuttings some people say now some say
autumn.

MANY THANKS IN ADVANCE





Do it any time except less than 6 weeks before any frost might be
expected. Shearing or pruning will promote new growth that will be
tender and easily damaged by frost.
