I would leave them. Pruning this late in the year will, likely, lead to some damage.

This article will help you to know how and when to prune:

Thank you, I am glad you agree only the article says after the flowers fade. I might prune in the Spring but I agree now I think a frost will kill it. Or at least cause some damage.
