Kippy you've posted your question in the rose gallery rather than the regular section and I'm sure you'll receive more responses to your question there.

I use the alfalfa meal since animals sometimes like to eat the pellets. You would use more for the larger plants and fewer for the smaller ones. You can use them at any time; if it's too cool they won't be activated until the weather is warmer but it won't harm the roses. Other plants will also benefit from the pellets so no worries there. Be sure to water them well so they swell up and begin to work. You can use them on new roses as long as they're actively growing and leafing out. Fish fertilizer I used mainly in the warmer months but I'm not an expert on that.
