It's best to give it a light pruning after flowering.

You can give it a light trim to cut off the old flower stalks, but don't ever hard prune it - it doesn't regrow from old wood.

As MoS said, it wonlt regenerate from cutting into old wood, so lightly does it.

Anything dead can just come out right down to the base of the plant
