Great Plants for Clay Soil
You could spend a lot of time, money and effort to improve clay or heavy soil, but first, let me suggest some plants that may thrive in your soil just the way it is. Clay does a great job of retaining moisture and nutrients, is slow to warm in the spring, and provides excellent root support to stabilize taller plants. These conditions advantage some plants over others, and in this video I'll list some of my favorite edibles (veggies and fruits) and ornamentals for heavy and clay soil.

WHAT
what-is-rose-sickness-(specific-replant
You shouldn't site a new rose where another rose was previously planted. So goes the advice... but what exactly is this mysterious "soil sickness" that affects the rose family? I reached out to Prof. Dr. Traud Winkelmann, who conducts research on specific replant disease. She graciously answered some of my questions about the problem, and now I'd like to share those answers with you.
Sorry the indoor lighting isn't awesome. Learning as I go...

7 RUL
7-rules-for-pruning-roses-2
I'm revisiting the topic of rose pruning, focusing on the traditional "rules" and gardening folk wisdom. Some make a lot of sense, others depend on the situation, and yet others are without merit in my opinion. You may remember that I did this topic with basically the same points a few years ago, but since then I've upgraded from SD video to 4K, so I figured it was time for a refresh.
Here's the timline:
00:00 Intro
00:40 Prune when the forsythia blooms
02:27 Reduce to 5 stems at 18"
03:43 Focus first of dead, diseased, damaged & crossing stem
05:27 Prune to outwards-facing buds
06:38 Use clean & sharp tools
08:00 Angle your pruning cuts
09:55 Open the center

PRESE
preserve-old-roses
I've said that "Roses Are In Trouble": https://youtu.be/DYvKY1rP-S8 but what to do about it? Happily, I've heard from rose gardeners around the world who are taking a hand at collecting out-of-trade (or nearly so) roses and propagating them for future generations. The safest spot for any rose is in when it's grown in many gardens!
I said I'd give you some book recommendations: "Classic Roses" by Peter Beales, "A Passion for Roses" Peter Beales, "Roses" by Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix, "Old Roses" by Roger Phillips and Martyn Rix, "Roses" by Orietta Sala. That should give you a start! Here's an Amazon link to help find them:

BOTTO
bottomless-planters-in-comparison-to
Bottomless planter, baseless plant pots, and sunken planters are an interesting alternative to traditional wood-frame raised beds. They share the same primary advantage: as a way to start a garden even when your existing garden soil won't support the plants of your choice. Other advantages: fewer weeds, warmer soil earlier in the season, and improved working height. The reason I prefer the bottomless planters these days is because wood-framed raised beds will rot over time when exposed to soil moisture. Pots and planters are easy to obtain, can be sized to fit a single shrub or tree - or larger mixed groupings of annuals, veggies, perennials, grasses or vines.

NEUTR
neutralize-wood-ash-for-the-garden
In response to those who drone on about the risks of applying wood ash to neutral or alkaline soils, I made a quick video to put my spin on the issue. At the recommended rates of application, the dangers of wood ash are greatly overstated IMO, and are easily counteracted by a small application of acidifying elemental sulfur. Elemental sulfur is inexpensive (around $25 for a 50lb bag last I looked) and widely available. For those who may take me to task for recommending a soil amendment without soil tests, I'll say only this: keep it in context - we're talking about a light application of wood ash and sulfur over a large area. In comparison to the wood ash ending up in the landfill, I think it's a decent compromise.

SHOUL
should-you-grow-roses-from-a-bouquet
Before you grow roses from a bouquet, I'd like you to consider other sources of cuttings for your propagation. I'm not saying it can't be done - it can! And I've made a tutorial on the process: https://youtu.be/gROmGmbJYeU
The problem is that the source of cuttings determines your success - a store bought bouquet rose (because it was grown fast) may have little or no suitable wood for the semi-hardwood propagation process. It also will most likely be a florist variety - which often don't perform well in outdoor temperate gardens. Maybe your best alternate source would be well-grown (and named variety) roses from your own garden, but if you don't have those available, I'll suggest some alternatives in this video.

GRAFT
grafted-roses-and-rootstock
If you're comparing the advantages of grafted roses vs. own root (in theory, say) here's a reality check: you don't get to decide what's available! Many (especially larger) producers still primarily grow grafted roses, so if you want the rose of your dreams - you may need to be flexible on grafted roses and even the rootstock used by the supplier. Speaking of rootstock, there are 3 main commercial rootstocks ('Dr. Huey', R. Multiflora & R. x 'Fortuniana') you may want to be familiar with. Truth be told, there have been plenty of different rootstock varieties used over the years, and some growers are still likely testing new varieties. In this video, I'll go through some of the basics of why you'd consider choosing a grafted rose for your garden.
Here's that article I mentioned by Pam Greenwald on own-root roses (even in Florida!): https://angelgardens.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/MayJun13_GoodEarth.pdf
