Shari,

I cut my old flowers off as close to the stem as practical, I use a serrated knife (like as bread knife) to saw thru the flower stem. If you do it when the cluster of flowers is about 80-90% done, then fetilize lightly, you can get them to rebloom in less than a month. If you wait until the flowers are all done and drying up it is to late for reblooming. Rule of thumb-if they look bad cut em back.
