Just make sure you've had all your shots, and do a scratch test to make sure you're not allergic. The thin, fibrous outer layer of bark on most rose bushes shreds very easily into minute filaments that will imbed themselves in the skin. This means that scratches from a rose bush can fester. I've heard urban legends about getting tetanus from rose bushes, but I find that doubtful. You can get toxic plasmosis, however. A lot of this, of course, varies with what sort of roses are being used, how they've been fertilized, and of course where they come from. It is, however, a basic bit of common sense caution - make sure you know your toy before you get too deeply involved ion playing.
