Why would an Aucuba japonica suddenly begin to wilt? It has been in place for a few years. The leaves have what looks like wind damage also.

I was given 2 small roses in pots for Mothers Day. They came from Aldi. But there was no instructions on how to care for them or whether they are indoor or outdoor. I have them indoors at the moment in bigger pots. They looked cramped. I have them on a sunny windowsill but after that I have no idea how much water and care to give them. I have attached a picture and they are about a foot high with small pink roses.

I'm looking for advice on what type of plants I should plant in my border. It's facing the sea, about 100 meters away! and Easterly in direction, so exposed to all manner of breezes and gales. I am thinking about heather, saxifraga, aubretia at the very edge and at the back some erysimum, hoping to have these in over the weekend. and filling the space between with pansy and viola. But what do I do in the summer?? and are these plants going to survive the sea and wind??

Ridges are appearing on my lawns for past few years. They are approx 3-5 metres long, 3cms wide and 1-2 cms high. There are up to 10 ridges perfectly parallel to one another, in three or four areas of the lawn. There are no tree roots near them. I have dug up 1 square foot samples but can see nothing unusual underneath. They are extremely bumpy when the mower passes over them. Apart from the mower (with back roller). no machinery has been used on the lawn, but the ridges are so perfectly formed/parralel, they look mechanically created. What could cause this and how do I get rid of them?
