I believe that means primarily roses without pesticide applied. (Fungicide,
insecticide)
I don't know if there is any rose that is inherently poisonous (note: apples
and pears both belong to the rose family) but it would be wise to check with
a poison control center before trying a particular variety. If they say
it's nontoxic and it's not been treated with pesticides, then go for it.
