Default composting leaves -- any to avoid?

For the most part, people say you can use leaves in compost. But I've
heard there are some tree droppings you should avoid putting in compost.
Anyone know which ones?


It seems many rosearians recommend not using rose cuttings in composts,
because fungus spores can supposedly survive and be spread about the garden.

Walnut leaves they can inhibit growth.
