I would still risk cutting it back,Nellie...all the stems..I do this with my neighbour's,as he can't manage it anymore,and it still flowers well every year..It's a very forgiving shrub !

I do not think it is too late to cut back but I would do it this week. Just cut back to a shape that is pleasing to you bearing in mind they are strong growers.

Leave it - rather too late now. Do it next year when you can still see the dead flowers.
