Yes and no. You prune shrubs in January if that's the time of their regular pruning schedule. In that case, winter time pruning tends to be done in January.

But pruning most definitely may be done if the rule of the letter 'd' applies. That means that shrubs can be pruned if they're damaged, dangerous or diseased.

Yes, pruning can be done during winter months. Bushes, shrubs, trees and vines have pruning schedules that reflect whether flowering occurs on new or old growth, with pruning acceptable during winter months for some of the first-mentioned woody plants. Pruning schedules nevertheless may be violated if branches and trunks pose dangers or present death, decay or disease and will work during wintertime as long as the cut is made with clean, dry equipment into dry wood.
