A slow roll downwind at night ?

airsound wrote (#33) in a thread about the differences in handling early piston & jet aircraft.....

– the done thing at the end of the solo night cross-country was to do a slow roll downwind –

Presumably he was thinking about his pocket Nintendo.
If so, some further advice on how & when to use top rudder during the roll will be appreciated. It was always a difficult judgment, at height on a VFR day, particularly so if the roll was a slow elegant 360º rotation without losing height.
