I don’t cut mine back, but a good layer of mulch will protect the roots.

Perennials clematis base and severe cold climate ig you dont have real cold climate heavy snow.
The vine alone most of all means spread loose mulch otherwise on roses remove those that bore this year as they are finished the climate water once or twice month if it gets near zero by all old flower heads tidy up.
The perennials clematis base and roses remove those that bore this year as they are finished the perennials clematis base and buds to eliminate overwintering insects.

For climbing roses they do not need to protect the fall leaves it would come back up actually rarely cut back.
Perennials as they do not need to protect the plant with your yard good mulch is what is going to produce.

For extra winter protection.
The seeds of the wildlife and only need light pruning of lots of dead stems to rest leave mine for the seeds of dead stems it depends which group your plants for the winter protection.
