Cold tea, and used tea bags, are often used on house plants and roses. Both contain quantities of the nutrient nitrogen and this encourages leafy growth, which can dispose roses to blackspot disease and greenflies.
It would be better used on rhubarb or blackcurrants, or scattered over a compost heap.
