i was told to cut my bushes to ground level now,they are summer fruiting , is this true  thanx

You should only cut the canes that fruited this year and IMO it's still a bit early to be pruning

Hang on -- summer fruiting will flower on the canes grown this year, so if you cut them down you'll get nothing next year. Cut out the canes that fruit once they have finished, and leave the new ones to grow again.

It is autumn fruiting varieties that get cut down completely to grow again and fruit next year --- and as MOS said, far too early.

Do it next February, and give the plants a good feed and a mulch and they will thank you wil loads of fruit  

Your summer ones would like a feed and mulch too around then

With summer fruiting varieties, you can remove the old canes as soon as they have finished fruiting. Mine are all done and this year's canes are now tied up to the supports ready for next season.
With autumn fruiting varities, I would remove all the canes in Feb.
