can I feed roses tomatoes?

I usually give my roses a banana garlic smoothie that I would prepare in my blender for two reasons - the insects don't like garlic and the roses love the potassium in bananas.

Question: I have a few old tomatoes in the fridge and did a search on the nutritional values to see if I may have been able to use them. They seem to be high in potassium. I pulled the following off the internet:

.... One medium whole tomato contains a mere 25 calories and only a trace of fat. It yields 273 mg potassium, 23.5 mg vitamin C, 766 IU vitamin A, 1.3 g dietary fiber, 5.7 g carbohydrates, and 29.5 mg phosphorus.

The 273mg of potassium really has me quite interested.

Anyone ever put tomatoes to their rose bushes? Do you think there would be any harm?
