United Kingdom 
I have been planting roses in my garden, which is mainly clay soil. Unfortunately, on one of the beds, when I dug the hole for planting, it immediately filled with water. I tried other places in the same bed with the same result. What can I do?

I think in all honesty that there is a serious drainage problem unless this is just something that has occurred recently.

Very little if the ground there is so water logged you will need to find another spot for your roses.
