Shrub 1 looks like Ilex crenata, Japanese Holly. I'm a much better identifier than I am a gardener, but my impression is that these hollies are pretty tough; if you sheared it back it might make a regrowth and look better. On the other hand, if you pull it out you're not losing anything rare. What you see is what you'll get; the flowers are inconspicuous and the fruits are little black berries, not showy. A healthy Japanese holly is a pretty plant, though. Shrub 2 is a Leucothoe, probably Leucothoea fontanesiana, it will have drooping clusters of white flowers in the spring. My guess would be that the black spots are just winter damage and will go away. Shrub 3 is Wintercreeper, Euonymus fortunei. This thing is practically a weed (it is a weed in a lot of areas.) There are loads of different varieties of different colors, etc. If the old growth is in a bad place prune it, if it isn't leave it; this plant probably won't care what you do to it. WW

A rambler rose - I can't name the variety but it could be Rambling Rosie.

A Viburnum. Possibly V carlesii but I'm not very good at them.

Odd that a specialty "gardening" magazine would not include specific genus, species, and variety names. No, not odd. Make that lame. "Ornamental Grass"? What's that supposed to mean? There are thousands of cultivars of ornamental grasses. "Pink Yarrow"? What kind??? The flower in question is agastache, but doesn't tell us what kind. As noted above, I have never seen A. foeniculum with such long flowerheads, or so densely packed. If it is a special variety we will never know since this "gardening" magazine doesn't give variety names. Unfortunately lame gardening magazines tend to "doctor up" their scenes before photographing to make their pictures prettier. Weird that BHG would put out something so lame.
