For most herbicide applications including Crossbow Hebicide, you want to have no mowing for 2 full days prior to treatment and no mowing for 2 full days after treatment. This will allow the plants to readily absorb the chemical and not be stressed from mowing or reduce the plant surface that the product would be asborbed through.
We would not recommend spraying the Asiatic jasmine with Crossbow Herbicide because it will likely harm that as well.
