You can hard prune the vines in front and leave the ones in back alone..that is one way ..and if you see them blooming on new vines..then you can go back and hard prune the ones in back ..It never hurts to just hard prune them all..if they are pruning group 2's she'll just lose the early blooms that she would have had and get to see them bloom in summer/fall....I would suggest she posts pics and get them ID-ed for future reference..I bought plant marker at the Co-op from Eons and I wrote the name and pruning group..so when I am out there ..I immediately have the info in front of me..I've really memorized them but some times I have a brain fart and am glad the marker is there..LOL...Jeanne
