I would imagine quite an amount of engine power is required to perform the roll while at the same time doing the vertical climb. The question is how much of additional engine power this would mean.
the roll would be performed by the control surfaces, unless it's a TVC engine (even that TVC control would have to be written into the FCS first)
i assume it will be minimal, because it does not require any change in momentum of the aircraft
now if it's turning while climbing, or doing a loop, that would need all the engine could give

The additional drag caused by the maneouvre should be significant. Just imagine that the airflow across the aircraft is forced to change constantly in the roll maneouvre.
