Is Wild Edric Rose toxic to cats?
Rosa 'Wild Edric'
No — wild edric rose is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats. It is a sensible choice for a home with a cat; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The genus Rosa (true roses) is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. Note the thorns can cause physical injury or mouth irritation if chewed, and this differs from unrelated plants called 'rose' (e.g. desert rose, rose of Sharon) which are toxic.
