Cathy, in our climate the top growth needs to be yellowed.  This will occur 
much later for the Orientals.  In fact, many times the Orientals will be green 
yet but I do wait as long as I can.  I cut the stem to about 12" and do the 
dividing or moving.
    The stems should always be removed to reduce the risk of disease.  Remove 
when you can give a quick yank & it easily  pulls out.  I usually tour the 
garden after we are well into winter to get the last stems which will be 
Orientals.
