I cut my some of my hostas back because they were annoying me.
In general, I think it is ok to cut back when they start to yellow & flop, but I don't have any of thise other types of plants.

I htink the warm fall is confusing the plants and we need to cut them back later this year
I agree with Lisa - wait until they are withered and yellow

I cut back my roses this weekend, just because they were out of control. I also cut back the hostas because they were really yellow and scraggly.
Everything else, like the peonies and astilbe, I'm waiting another couple of weeks to do.
I don't cut back my butterfly bush.

The old owners of our house cut off all the roses on the climbing rose bush before we closed.
