Dear Marina,
Are you merging your channels into Composite Hyperstacks? Image>Color>Merge Channels, make certain the ‘Create Composite’ box is checked.  All selection operations are possible with composite stacks.  
Alternatively on single channel images, create your selection on 1 channel, open the ROIManager  and click on ‘Add (t)’ .  Now select each channel in turn, click on the ROI to apply it and perform your operation. Finally, merge the channels.

 regards,
