I think that in our climate with potential for cold, wet and humid winters, it is best to wait until February to prune so as to not allow pathogens into the plant via an open wound, until right before it will naturally grow. Late February or early March should be the best time although I do know of people who prune in fall without problems, just because you could aid a pathogen does not mean that it will 100% take over. Watch rose books that may be for a different climate like California! Our climate has more challenges than a dry or milder (or both) climates.
