Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: why does flowering quince only bloom at the bottom, 1 by annemgc

I was searching for info on pruning flowering quince. I have 2- 'Texas Scarlet' and 'Cameo'. They've been in the ground for 2 years & cameo is really bushing out. I'd like to give it an overall trim to keep it in bounds but don't know if its a good idea. Cameo is much bigger than Texas Scarlet & has coral double flowers. Mine always bloom deep down on the shrub so I'm looking for affirmation that a trim won't affect the bloom next year. They are pretty carefree here, but I never see them planted in Chicago. Any ideas?
