Climbing roses behind rockery?

I am in the process of building a rockery / flower bed at the bottom of the garden and I have 2 climbing roses which I need to plant along with 2 clematis. The original idea was to have the clematis in the fence behind the rockery and the roses in tub on the fence next to it. However, I have 2 young children and hubby has suggested it would be better to plant the roses behind the rockery to avoid any potential 'thorny' falls! I can see his logic.

Will this be ok do you think and does anyone have any pics of anything similar?

Thanks

As WOO said, if you can easily get access to them then no reason why you can't plant them there, although a photo of the area would be useful

Clematis and Roses can be planted together - I have some climbing up the same frames in my garden, although there are some Clematis which would take over, such as Montana, and should therefore be avoided.
