Default Fall rose care

It's Fall in Chicago temps in the 50's an we have already had one frost.
a few of my roses are still blooming and have a lot of new growth. This
is their first year. I've got 2 cimbing roses and 4 standard roses ( I
guess ) What should i do? prune now prune later? Two of my plants seem
to have white mildew. I've treated my roses all year with a systemic
fertilizer insecticide, and disease controller (Beyer). The garden has
had it's three treatments and it has been 4 weeks since the last. Should
I treat again, try something else or see what spring brings? Any help
would be appreciated.
