Rose garden and bees next to a sunroom #865839

I am considering a 14' x 17' rose garden outside my sunroom. I am wondering if this would be a big problem in manisfesting too many bees. I'm okay with bees, but not in my house and I know they can make nests nearby. Would it be wise to not build a rose garden so near the sunroom and nearby patio?

Expert Response
After reviewing these pages, I think you will be fine making a rose garden. Bees can fly miles if needed, but unless you have cavities in your house wall, they are not likely to nest inside or near your house. Unless you have a blooming plant in a pot indoors near an open window, bees are unlikely to come indoors.
