Is it bad if the alfalfa pellets contain molasses? Why?

I just bought a 50 lb bag of alfalfa pellets at the horse feed store. I was there to pick up some meal to feed my grass and I remembered reading that alfalfa pellets help roses convert food, so I grabbed some.Then I read someone warning another person off the pellets that contain molasses. Is it true? Is molasses in alfalfa pellets bad when used for roses? I have a hard time believing it since its good to spray molasses on the garden -- in fact I did so today in order to encourage the good nematodes!

And if it is bad, why? And how bad is it? This bag is 50 lbs!
I live on a small mountain in southern california -- LA area.
