Wildlife Rose Garden?

I would like to have a rose garden that couples as a wildlife garden. Right now I have a fountain, some potted roses, and a finch sock. There are large oaks and pines all around, they cast shade on some of the yard but leave about half in full sun. I made sure to get a water clarifyer(sp?) that is safe for birds to drink, and I see them bathing and drinking every day. But most of the time the garden is still empty, I would like it to be full of life all the time.

So far the list of plants I want to add includes Honeysuckle, Jasmine, Butterfly Bush, Mexican Orange, Salvia, Penstamon, Columbine, Lilies, Iris, and Allium. I would also like to add a bird feeder that doesn't cater only to finches as well as a cute birdhouse. And maybe some rocks and rock piles to shelter little snakes and lizards.

Has anyone seen a rose garden like this? Do you think it will work? Will I be able to squeeze everything into a 26' x 40' space?
