Good complete fertilizer without bonemeal?

Currently I use EB Stone's. I've heard there is a little risk in using products with bonemeal. Does anyone know a balanced organic fertilizer without it?

If you get your soil built up with organic matter you would not need a "fertilzer". Organic growing is getting the soil into a good, healthy state so "fertilizers" are not necessary.
Bone meal is a source of phosphorus and any "fertilizer" that has rock phosphate or greensand would be a substituye until you get your soil built up so you would not need that.

Alfalfa is a complete fertilizer and roses love it. You could apply two cups or so every two months.
