Maybe you heard not to cut it back too late because the cuttings would have a harder time taking when the growth hormones inteh tips are declining for winter rest. Just guessing!

I have always be told by who knows who, to seal after all pruning. So you do not have an open wound for disease or bugs to invade the plant. Who knows if it is true. There are all kind of sealers to use. Rose people seal their cuts, though I never have on a rose. It would take me hours for my bushes are so big. But I do on other things. I have heard Elmer's Glue works great but I use this stuff in the picture. And I am careful to dip my finger in a new disposable glove in it to wipe on the cut, so I do not infect my whole jar with germs from the plant I am cutting.
