I can not find rose petals among any lists of poisonous plants.  In fact,
I do love rose petal jams, and they are used in salads, and in making
cooking-grade rosewater which is in a number of recipes a number of
recipes as in rosewater scented almond paste in dates.  Now, some sprays
applied to them could be a problem...
