Default border design dilemma

I have a 13 foot long attached greenhouse and I want to change the bed
that runs the length of the greenhouse outside to roses. Roses I am
now considering are Carefree Beauty (although I like Mary Rose too),
Iceberg, and Cuthbert Grant (red). I can't decide if it should be all
one rose or a combination of 2 or a combination of 3 alternating
colors. I want continuous color in that spot.
If I am ordering from chamblee do I need to plant extra close to
fill in the whole bed? How close would you think?
The bed currently is only about 3 feet wide so there's only room for 1
deep if I don't enlarge the bed and I really don't want to do that this
spring.
Also another thing should I have them deliver early and just grow them
in the greenhouse till it's warm enuogh to transplant??
