It would become ??? type, or it would become normal type, depending on which generation.

Generation IV

If a Pokémon that has become a pure Flying-type uses Roost, it will become a ???-type Pokémon until the end of the turn.

Generation V

If a pure Flying-type Pokémon uses Roost, it will become Normal-type until the end of the turn.

-Bulbapedia, Roost

Thanks WT :)
You're welcome, Fizz
About Generation 4, it's funny because until Tornadus, there was no pure flying type :)
well there was arceus-flying though it for some reason couldnt learn it
Well there you go, Arceus. Grand Master PokeGod. Who can't learn roost xD
There is a way however. If a Color Change is Skill Swapped onto a Smeargle, for example, and then hit by a Flying move, it was become a Flying type. If Smeargle moves second and uses Roost, the effect would be triggered.
