It will be OK to leave as it is, I have a caerulea and leave it until spring, then just cut off any dead looking bits. Your flower buds don't look like mine, but it has to be quite hardy to get through hard frosts. Mine is on a south facing wall, has climbed to the roof (double story) and goes rampant along the electricity cable, so we cut some back this autumn. It will start romping away in spring and produce hundreds of flowers for many months, mine was still flowering until the frosts, and I can see there are still some buds but not likey to come to anything at this time.
Yours might be a p. edulis, I had the purple one a gew yeas back just when we had very hard, prolonged frost, and it didn't survive, but have no problems with this one.
