The only time rose petals appeared as blood or disintigrating grimm was the Red Trailer. In the show, even with the Nevermore, the rose petals we've seen came from Ruby's cape. Like, when Ruby showed Weiss her speed in the forest. She zoomed away and left rose petals floating around Weiss. As she flew toward the Nevermore, she trailed rose petals behind her. After she killed the Nevermore, while she was standing at the top of the cliff, rose petals were quite obviously coming off of her cape as it fluttered in the wind.

Also, in the volume 2 opening, you see rose petals coming off her cape during the part where all of Team RWBY is standing lined up in front of Beacon. Snowflakes are coming off Weiss, something black (shadows? Probably) is coming off Blake, and fire is coming off Yang.
