these two articles should help with the flat roof , but I haven't tried putting a garden bed on a Roof as yet , though it should work I'd think.

Hi I just tried to do this

I put a flat roof onto the end of my drawing In "Plan View" I went to plant chooser and selected herbs.

I then tried to place the plants on the plan. When I looked with the camera the plants were on the ground. Naturally LOL this programs not silly....

In perspective view I selected the plants and changed their above ground height.

You should group select the plants and make an Architectural Block and add to your library. 

When you hold the shift key and select the plants a small colored box will be on the bar in the bottom left corner of your screen. Once you have that block click on it and Open it. The open command is a small "Book" icon in the left hand bottom side of your screen. 

Then you can from that screen change the floor height of the plants. 

However someone else may have a better solution as I am still learning Pro

If you create a room, instead of using a roof plane, the plants shouldn't need to have their height value adjusted.
