Pruning/fertilizing ever-flowering jasmine?

Hello fellow Californians,

I am growing some robust Jasmine Angulare vines over my porch. They have been in since last February and have not stopped blooming. That is pretty fantastic, but leaves me confused as to proper care. When and how do I prune this vine? I know I will need to eventually but I usually just wait until just after a plant stops blooming so as not to chop off the following years flowers. Any tips?

Also, it looks like the older leaves are preparing to die, they are yellowing from the edges ( looks like when a gardenia prepares to shed old leaves) but new growth looks good and green. I haven't fertilized these vines yet, having been far too busy to worry about a plant that looks good still. Any ideas there? I assume to treat them like a plain pink jasmine, but they are flower factories and much less delicate in action and appearance, please tell me if I am way off base.

This is an awesome performer by the way, on my half shaded San Jose porch. Lush and beautiful.

Thanks!

Pea
