Lift in Fall

I recently ordered some Dahlias and Begonias from Brecks and they instruct the buyer to "lift in fall". What happens if I don't? I am literally on the 7b/8a border in Alabama.

RE: Lift in Fall

They could freeze and that's the end of them. But even in cold wet weather they ould just simply rot. Instead they need to rest under dry circumstances so they can do their thing again the following year when they will bloom their heart out again for you.
