When to prune

I keep a gardening calendar, where I add notes for each month's tasks as a yearly planner. I know lots of pruning needs to be done in March and as it's the 1st tomorrow, is it too early to start? I know a frost straight after pruning can damage by diggingdoris

a good rule with euphorbias was to prune after flowering unless you are happy to lose all this years flowers and run the risk of frost damage. My understanding is that they are quite tough but they still would not like frost in open wounds. Only you by chilli lover

Rose pruning and frost

This is probably a daft question, but when gardening mags and books say don't prune roses in time of frosts, what exactly do they mean? If there was a frost in the morning, but it's gone by lunchtime can you prune in the afternoon by Busy-Lizzie
