Rosemary, Sage, Thyme together in one pot?

As the title says really. I just bought 3 smallish plants and want to pot in a planter together.
Is this likely to cause any problems? I'm not sure how fast they grow, would I be abe to replant them if they started getting bigger or would the roots be all tangled together?
Thanks.

    They'd be ok for this year but next year you'd have to split them which is easy enough. My rosemary is 3 feet tall/wide after a few years. The thyme and sage doesn't grow very big.

    Sage will grow into a shrub about 2 feet tall or more

    So as Barneysmom says, all need splitting into single pots

    I would do it now, before they really get going

    I have never got sage to last more than one year, the winter always seems to kill it off. I have planted a number of herbs including thyme and rosemary (from cuttings) in a big trough and will transplant if they get bigger next year, never had any problems transplanting herbs.
