Rose petals themselves are usually considered edible, but if they have been sprayed with something can be a different matter. See: http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc_toxicplants and http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pro_apcc_nontoxicplants It is important to use a veterinary list like those above because some plants are not toxic for humans but are toxic for members of Carnivora and vice versa. Comparing the toxic and nontoxic list to things humans use or avoid you will notice that very rapidly.
