It's actually more than that -- there is some
"mysterious" rose virus that seems to carry over
in the soil.  You should remove as much of the
soil as possible when planting a rose in the
same place as another one was.  I try to remove
at least 2 x 2 or more.

I have heard however, that you shouldn't plant
roses in old beds where
roses have grown before.  This is due to the fact
that roses are very heavy
feeders, and the soil would be depleated of vital
nutrients.
