it is said that you shouldnt plant anything of the rose family in the same soil, this means not just roses but any of the Genus-- this is suprisingly large--- includes malus ( apples) photinia, potentilla etc.
but it can depend on the state of the soil and why you are taking out the roses and I am sure that if you follow Spritz' advice the plants will thrive

Genus and family! :-)
A few teaspoons of Rootgrow or Start (same thing) alleviates this potential problem though. £3.99 a sachet and if kept in the fridge, it will do for 6-8 plants at least?

Yes, no problem. It would be a good idea to feed the soil with compost and plant food before planting, as roses are hungry plants and will have used nutrients in the soil.
However, use a general purpose balanced food like blood, fish and bone, so as not to promote lush new shoots that might get frosted.
