Question
i was wondering if the lime (or what ever excrete from the concrete to alkanize the soil) would damage or inhibit the growth or worse of the rose.

Answer
Sounds like an attractive feature. Cement, especially at the foundation areas of a house, does cause problems by changing the PH of the soil. New cement definitely causes problems. The soil surrounding a cement structure is likely to become more alkaline over time as the lime in the concrete leaches into the soil and sweetens it. Usually you plant roses about 18 inches from the cement.  I think that if planted right after the cement is laid, the roses will suffer and show yellowing of the leaves. But if planted after the cement is set and matured, then just keep an eye out for the yellow leaves. You may not have any problem at all with the roses as they may adjust to the small amount of lime over time. Also keep in mind that cement is like a sponge and tends to soak up water. The rose books say to wait two years before planting near cement,  but who wants to wait that long!!
