i dont think they can i would dig a huge hole and add better dirt like topsoil or you could just build a raised bed and plant roses in it then you can make the soil perfect for your roses

All we have is clay here, and roses do great. We dig the hole out much deeper and wider than the roots. (much wider like 2 feet in diameter at least). Fill around rose with compost or potting soil. It will get going and dig into the clay just fine.

yes they can just remember they like good drainage and you need to put a few rocks in the hole you are digging for them .put the rocks at the bottom and then fill with water and then plant and then finish with the soil . good luck .

we have the same environment here, i think, in the Philippines as you mention the qualities of your soil. it would grow as normal and as easy. just dug the whole and plant it.
