I agree with the others. However, as Heike suggested, I also like to include it at the end of my workout when cooling down.

Hi Alison,

SMR is very effective as a warm-up, it increase blood flow and helps increase mobility. I encourage most of my clients to foam roll prior to the start of our session and then we get into a dynamic warm up.

In the NASM movement prep course that I took at IDEA 2012, they used the foam roller as part of the warm-up.

In general yes, but my clients prefer it in their cool down and stretching segment after training.
