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.
