Can I plant a lemon tree in the same bed as roses? Full sun, plenty of water. Small garden so roses will be quite close to the lemon tree.

When tree matures will shade roses

I really would not recommend it. Rosebushes do not like to compete with trees for water and nutrition. If the garden was large and there was a good 6 feet from the rosebushes, then may be okay. But for small gardens I recommend finding a nice spot near the rose bed yet 6 to 8 feet of clearance.
