I’m so new to dahlias, excuse my ignorance. Everyone is so kind in the thread, so I’m going to ask another, possibly silly question.

Is it too late to pinch these? If not too late, where? (I haven’t planted them yet bc last night it got down to 43. I’ve been hardening them off the last few days, taking them in at night. Plan to the rest of the week after work and this weekend.)

I think this is a Black Satin and Bloomquist York? I’m bad at labeling. ADHD. I figure I’ll find out when they bloom. 🤷‍♀️

I am a total newb, so please excuse my ignorance but I bought this tray of liberty snapdragons at a local nursery because I love snaps and my indoor seeds performed poorly. They were already leaning over a lot when I got them. I’ve staked some of them—I’ll dead once the blooms die. Should I cut way down and hope it acts like a pinch? Each plant has only one spike. Or when I cut is it done for?

Can anyone tell me what this rose is? I bought it many years ago and it’s always done ok, but I finally have time to garden and pay attention to it. It seems to be thriving, but I’m seeing some bug issues (usually it’s plagued and never blooms much) so I’ll need to try and remedy that.

It only gets about 5 hours of morning sun a day on the east side of my house and is looking like this, if that helps?
