About 45 minutes before roast is done, place vegetables in drippings around roast, turning to coat. When done, transfer meat and vegetables to a serving platter; keep warm. Pour meat juices and fat into a large glass measure and skim off fat, reserving 3 tablespoons (If you have a large fat separater, pour the broth off the bottom). Return reserved fat to roasting pan. Add water to reserved meat juices to make 2 cups liquid: set aside. Stir flour into reserved fat in roasting pan. Cook and stir over low heat until bubbly. Remove from heat.
