Yeah, I fed a few of mine here in zone 6/7 and the people in my rose group told me I'm crazy to be feeding so early. I'm waiting a week to feed the rest because I remember how fickle and mean the spring can be. We had lovely 80's last week, and now we're in 40s at night. They're still getting snow in zone 4.
I love feeding with alfalfa pellets because it smells so good. Fish emulsion...yuck, but I use it. Alfalfa you can spread by hand and not worry about if it's going to give you cancer. My kind of fertilizer!
