Re: flowers that are dying
I'll be removing them in Oct cause some of mine still have blooms on one half of them.

Don't uproot the perennials like the Hostas. I usually cut back the dead stuff with the perennials. I don't like the look of dying plants.
You can uproot the annuals like impatients though.

Re: flowers that are dying
I agree about leaving the perennials alone, in the ground. Consider using the leaves for mulch once they've dried out though. Keep the plants warm over the winter.
