Toxicity

• To humans

  The Rosa Golden Smiles, commonly known as a garden rose, is generally not considered toxic to humans. However, though roses are not poisonous, they can pose physical hazards due to their thorns which can cause injury if not handled with care. Additionally, some people may experience allergic reactions to roses, such as dermatitis, but this is a response to the plant's natural oils or to pesticides used on the plant, rather than toxicity. Ingesting large quantities of rose petals or other parts is not advisable but typically does not lead to significant poison symptoms. If someone were to eat a large amount of rose parts, they might experience stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea as a consequence of ingesting indigestible matter, but these symptoms would not typically be a result of poison.

• To pets

  The Rosa Golden Smiles, commonly known as a garden rose, is not considered toxic to pets. Similar to their effect on humans, roses are generally safe for animals to be around. However, the physical threat of thorns can cause injury to pets just as they can to humans, potentially leading to puncture wounds or scratches. Some pets may attempt to eat rose petals or leaves; while these are not toxic, consumption in large amounts might cause mild gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting or diarrhea, due to the indigestible nature of much of the plant material. It is important to ensure that plants treated with insecticides or other chemicals are kept away from pets, as these substances can be harmful if ingested.
