I'd leave them, they are feeding the roots after all, if not for much longer. It's a very unusual time. I have roses, primulas, passionflower, kaffir lilies, winter jasmine and viburnum bodnantense flowering together.0

I'm not sure what else you should do, other than leave them to do their thing.
Cutting bits off and leaving open wounds just before winter wouldn't be a great option.
Arum lillies of the 'Crowborough' sort are tougher than people imagine, though I guess very heavy and prolonged frosts might see them off. I have a few sitting in a heavily shaded stream at the bottom of a frost pocket. I'm not saying they love it there, but they grow, which is more than many other plants have done.
Hostas are tough as old boots. If all those gene scientists could just stick a bit of Bhut jolokia into them, they might pass as decent garden plants, instead of slug hotels.0 -
Thank you both
I will leave them.
I have roses that have new buds and new flowers on, also have other plants still in flower, must be the mild weather I guess0
