Lots of people use rose petals and rose hips in teas, salads and even
"medications". Just last night I saw a beautiful skunk poking around in
our backyard. Big fluffy white tail! I went outside to say hello and
it waddled off. It had been poking around my roses. Upon examination I
discovered that some of the lowest rosebuds had been eaten by a local wild
mustelid. I would only worry about the roses if you think that they may
have been sprayed with pesticides, or preservatives in the flower shop.
