I spent two weeks getting this inherited Massey Ferguson running in order to dig up the front garden I have (also herited) in order to plant roses for my late mother’s memory.

We’re too dull to enforce such silly rules.
As with all big planting projects, make sure you do a soil sample first. You don’t want to lose a big order of roses because your soil isn’t acidic enough. They’re cheap, usually around $15-20. You can specify that you’re planting roses so the results will include recommended soil amendments for that specific plant (get the exact Latin name for the species/cultivar that you’re planting for best results).
Check with your State’s largest agricultural university (if in the US), they’re likely part of the Cooperative Extension System and receive grants to provide these kinds of services. These folks are an excellent resource for home gardening.
