Is now a good time to repot my hydrangea?

Hello all. I have a hydrangea on my back porch which I planted in a pot at least 5 years ago. The Hydrangea is a Raspberry Parfait, blooms on old wood, and stays around three feet. It had a very nice season last year, many blooms, very healthy. This morning I removed dead leaves, gave it a watering and was thinking of putting a layer of composted manure but then I was thinking I should treat it to being repotted? Is this a good time to repot? I don't want to take away any chances of losing blooms this year.

If yes, I would love some potting advice. Same pot, or up a size? I've seen some videos of repotting roses, do you take a saw and cut an inch or so all the way around? Originally I just filled the pot with potting soil and plopped it in, should I do anything better? If this is not the time to repot when do you suggest. Whatever you can recommend is appreciated! Thank you, Marcia Zone 7B South Carolina
