When should last years dahlias make an appearance?

In a large, 60cm pot, under bench next to fence over winter. I wondered if they should have re-emerged yet or if the didn't make it due to frost(unlikely this year) or rot?

    Still no sign of mine in the open garden here in Norfolk. Given that we had a hard frost this last week that is fine by me. I wouldn't expect to see any new growth above ground yet and I don't force any under cover.

    if you are worried, you could carefully scrape down to the tubers and see If they are still firm and plump, but be careful not to damage any new shoots.  If they are squishy, then you have lost.
