The Dahlias will come back if the bulbs are still there.
Yes, but we are only about two weeks from our first frost. Plus, it's calling for soaking rain and cold temperatures for that period, so rot might be an issue. I dug the broken ones already and found rot on one I had left in the ground for a few extra days (just the stem portion, but I would have hated for that to travel down into the tuber crown).
