shear rain-flattened Biokovo blooms?

Two consecutive nights of all out rain 2 weeks ago flattened my Biokovo blooms to the ground--but they are still blooming! It's only their second year but they had become quite large and tall. Now the leaves are beginning to stand up straighter or are sending up new leaves. But the flower stems are still practically horizontal. There are plenty of unopened buds on the stems though.

Should I cut off all the blooms and hope that the next batch comes in perpindicular? Or should I just live with it until they stop blooming and then shear them off for the new crop to come in?

And when I cut them down, it should be around July, yes? And should I cut off just the stems or the foliage as well?
