It isn't the soil type that roses complain about, it is usually the weather. Some roses look poor and ball in wet weather, others bleach and burn in high heat. And many just die in very cold winters. Your climatic conditions are really more important than your soil.

The climate comment was right on. Unless you're buying own root plants, nearly every rose you have available to you will perform the same way in your soil, as far as the roots are concerned, because so many are budded on the same root stock.

See my garden profile, "Alkaline clay zone 5a". I have very heavy clay, and decent rainfall. the darker green foliage likes heavy clay. The glossy foliage likes wetness.
