    My honeysuckle has never flowered so don't know whether I should prune the foliage.
    There will be someone on the forum who can help you I'm sure  :)

    If you have a new plant, just planted this year, you should concentrate on training it to the way you want it to grow. Honeysuckles tend to thicken and grow almost like a shrub if not trained or left unpruned for a few years. 

    You can tidy up and cut back any over long shoots in spring time. But generally, not always needed.
