Been given a Malus Evereste Crab Apple.. Where cna I put it

So I received this as a gift, as I mentioned to a friend a number of years back I'd like one. Since then, my garden has filled a bit!

The only suitable place with respect to sunlight is in a border with shrubs and roses. There is a spot I can make which would be a few feet from the centre of any of these roses. Too close do you think? Or do I just need to improve the soil a lot to allow it to establish..

I guess it's a nice problem to have! Appreciate any thoughts!

Thanks in advance

 

The main concern would be not damaging the roses' roots and causing rootstock suckers. Once they start, there’d be no end to it!

 

Oh, do you mean damaging them from my digging to plant the tree? The roses are at most 1.5 years old...
