Yes, but combined contribution limits apply. For 2008 the maximum contribution amount is $5,000 for individuals under 50 years of age and $6,000 for those over 50. If you are under 50 and contribute $2,000 to your Roth IRA then you can only contribute $3,000 to your Traditional IRA.

For a traditional IRA, you no longer can contribute after the age of 70 1/2 (RMD checks in). For Roth, you can contribute forever since no RMD are taken from this type of IRA account.
