When to apply compost mulch?

I just cut a rose back to the ground and I want to allow it to grow back well before the fall. The weather here this week is forecast to be in the high 70s/low 80s and partially cloudy.

Thinking I should give it a good soak and then leave it alone. But I do have some organic bagged compost and wonder if I should add that now, or wait until it starts showing growth, or leave it alone and not fertilize until next spring?

And should I be shading it, for a few days, or just allow it to adjust with the sun on it?
