If it bit you, you'd have to be doing some really stupid, or hurting it whilst handling it.
They tend to prefer to flick hairs at you if they are angry..a bite is a last resort, and with a rose its not unreasonable to suggest that NO ONE should ever be bitten by one.
If someone is stupid/unlucky enough to be bitten, its effects are not to severe. Most people report its like a bee sting and the most damage is from the actual mechanical damage inflicted by the fangs...unless you are allergic to it, in which case its effects can vary and be more severe.
