I also assume that FAA and ICAO guidelines provide some info on the selection of the runway from wind rose diagram.
As far as using a software to create wind rose, try

If you do not have access to the textbook, you may download airport related document from USACE
http://www.usace.army.mil/inet/usace-docs/armytm/
Select TM 5-803-7 Technical Manual on Airport and Heliport Planning Criteria.
Attachement 5 discusses about the use of wind rose, with charts, etc. Good and comprehensive chapter to read.
Hope this helps you along
