Jose,

I think it's not so much that you SHOULD prune ceonothos after
flowering but that you CAN prune them then. Prune only the
herbaceous growth at the branch ends. Pruning into the woody
portion of the branch can cause it to die back to its base. Because
of this characteristic, ceonothos should always be planted where
there will be enough room for it to reach its mature size.  I've
heard that the same is true for cistus, but I don't know that for
sure.  Probably, others on the list have had experience with them
though.
