    It really depends on the bushes and if they are bushes that bloom from new growth or old growth. Which plant do you wish to trim? We can give you more precise directions on how to trim it if you let us know.

    Yes, there are several kinds that do. This is a practice called deadheading. You take off the first batch of flowers and the plant will grow a second batch. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/flowers/fgen/deadheading-flowers.htm

    Yes, most resources do specify cutting back branches 8-12 inches from the canker margin, or affected area. However, I recommend 12 inches, as the canker margins are not always well defined and at least this way, you're more likely to get all of the infected area. Always better to be on the safe side.
