Will I have to destroy my Japanese Anemone if it has small holes in the leaves and Petals. Also will an Astrantia Roma be able to stand up against strong winds?
Why would you want to destroy it? All plants get damaged by insects, weather etc. at some point. Most of the time it's transitory, and healthy plants shrug it off and recover. If you post a photo, you'll get help with IDing any problems and how to tackle it.
Astrantias are tough. If you have no other planting to support it, you'll need to use a support for it early in the year.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
It's just a bit of insect damage. Nothing to worry about. The majority of little bits and pieces of damage are shrugged off as a garden finds it's balance. I probably have holes/damage on some of mine, but I don't worry about it.

Japanese Anemone are generally very leafy plants and your picture of leaves is the same with my Japanese anemones. They are quite unaffected and very resilient plants (except in drought conditions). They can spread all over the garden, so keep an eye on them. Being a hardy perennial, they disappear over winter and pop back again in spring/summer.
