That depends on the exact plants in question, their tolerances, and how far out of their native range they are. Native plants require no extra protection, so will not need to be uncovered since they will not get heavy mulch.
Each other plant that is non-native, or requires extra mulch will need to be removed according to when each breaks dormancy. This will be plant specific. Generally, you will want to do this as soon as possible, as well.
Make sure to keep it handy just in case you experience a round of cold weather, later.
