Yes, you can. Monarda or bergamot is a herbaceous perennial, which means each year the green growth dies back and the plant retains viable roots until spring. Likely, the frozen stalks are already dead...but the roots are alive.

Yes. It will put up all new growth in the spring. The stems from last years flowers are dead, and will not put out new growth. You can do it anytime - and if you want to wait until spring, and the leaves start coming up from the roots, you can do it then too.

Absolutely! This is a perennial flower not a shrub. It will grow back in the spring.

You could cut the dead stems off and wait for some action when it warms up.
