it should be .if it has berries please advise your children NOT to eat them

I'm not clear what plant you mean, Guest - Laurel could be either Aucuba (spotted laurel) or Prunus laurocerasus, or Portulaca - a rose is a rose and a different plant.

Really, you should teach your children not to touch or eat anything in your garden unless you say so. There are lots of common plants that are toxic if eaten, so educating them is the key.
