Default ideas for a rose near grapes

Gail,
The rose would be between 3 and 4 feet from either other plant.

Now the next question -
I don't know anything about the other two
plants you mentioned, how big they get,
how thirsty their roots are. Given that
uncertainty, I would think 3-4' per side is good
spacing. I usually leave 18" - 2' between
modern shrub roses like Hybrid Teas and
Floribundas, about double that for larger
roses, including some of my larger old
garden roses. In the only place I have a bunch
of climbers together, the spacing is more like
5' between each rose. But those climbers
get really big.
