Coffee grounds are good for any plants in the garden as they contain a small amount of nitrogen. They also act like a mini compost for the soil.You simply scatter a little amount around the base of the rose and then have to water it in or it won't work.
Eggshells are a good source of calcium - wash them out well. Let the egg shells dry, break up/crumble, then apply around the base of the roses, and dig into the soil a little bit (or put them under mulch - eggshells are not very attractive). Eggshells are safe to apply all year long and will not hurt the rose, but only help them (roses need calcium too!).

Sure thing! My kids love to be the ones to sprinkle the coffee grounds and egg shells for me every 3 or 4 days!
