Ummmmmmmm.... I forget, I always have to read the instructions when it comes to roses.  However, beit right or wrong (again refer to instructions) I tend to give them the proper amount after the first blooming is complete, as I have found the heat of summer tends to deplete the nutrients you would have applied in spring.  I avoid fall, as I don't want to spike growth prior to the first frost and damage the plant.  Our first bloom was quite the spectacle this season, however since they've been dead headed (early junish?) I'm just now seeing tons of new stem growth (a few weeks after applying blood meal) and hoping for another round of blooms!
