Not like roses. If your peony is the shrub-type with woody stems, then you cut off the foliage before winter. With the herbaceous types, you can cut off stems and foliage before winter, or, if they have fungus, in autumn. It is usually better to do this as late as possible, to give the plant a chance to pull back nutrients into the roots.

Of course, dead stems and awkward-growing canes can be pruned late in the year.
