The cool temps really bring out the deep rich colors of my roses. Some weeks ago, we applied our last fertilization of the year and are now beginning to see the last flush of blooms of the season in our garden.

It is good to see you are still getting some blooms on your roses Chris.On the question of the over wintering dahlias. In some of the warmer states if the ground does not freeze to a six inch depth you can leave them in the ground. But they do have a tendency to rot sometimes so it is better to take them up by November. Here it is too cold so I have to dig them regardless since they are more an annual.
