    As for the dahlias, these will need to be dug up and stored. They cannot survive winters in your area. They can be easily lifted with a garden fork or spade shovel prior to the complete die out of their foliage. Break up the clumps and separate the tubers, allowing them to dry out some before storing, usually about a week or two in a cool, dry area.

    Then, clip off foliage, shake off any remaining soil, and pack the tubers in dry peat moss or wood shavings within a brown paper bag or cardboard box. Place them in a dark area with cool room temperatures, like a basement, until spring.

    While it's often better to grow passion flower in a container that can be overwintered indoors, it is possible to grow the plants outside. In cold regions such as yours, extra protection should be taken, especially passion flower, which is happier in warmer areas. The following article should be of some help to you:

    It sounds like it is either over watered, under watered or has root rot. Check the roots for root rot. This article will help:

    Make sure the soil is draining well and that you are not letting it dry out in between waterings.

    I would wait until spring to cut back the plant. It will help protect the new growth, just in case another freeze occurs. But, it will need to be pruned in the spring. These articles will help you:

    I would cut back by a 1/3 and see how the plant fairs with that. After it grows some, you can do 1/3 again.
