Sorry but Mom is actually partially right. However, you could still impress
her by letting her know that you prune the frost damaged portions after all
damage of frost is gone. You may still want to wait a few weeks; I'm not
sure about your weather in Tucson. Leaving on the parts that are damaged
provides insulation to the rest of the plant.
The other sounds like purple snail vine and it is a tropical plant that can
stay green all year without any frost. Guess what..... This vine can be
cut to the ground and will come back in the warming spring.

Sorry but Mom is actually partially right. However, you could still impress
her by letting her know that you prune the frost damaged portions <i>after</i>
all damage of frost is gone. You may still want to wait a few weeks; I'm
not sure about your weather in Tucson. Leaving on the parts that are damaged
provides insulation to the rest of the plant.
