I never use to cut mine back, but now I do once in the spring and then again
about half way through the summer.  I do it in the spring before the real
growth begins.  They do wonderfully that way.  As some of the branches turn
brown in the summer, I may just prune them back.  Either way they seem to do
just fine, in my experience at any rate.

Zone 6 
With periods of Zone 2 & 3 winters
Summers like Zone 8 or 9

Never figured out how we are zone 6 --  in fact most of the Greater KC area is
Zone 5, I'm in a little Zone 6 corner

Now, isn't that more than you wanted to know.
