Would it harm my Rose bush if cigarette ash was flicked into the soil?

No. Tobacco is a naturally derived substsnce.
plus chemical additives
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of..._in_cigarettes
And the argument that something is non-harmful because it's
naturally
derived is fallacious..
The ash would in fact
be benificial.
In what way would flicked cigarette ash be beneficial?
One could argue that the residual nicotine (if any) is harmful to
greenfly.
Do roses get tobacco mosaic virus? ;-)
Maybe.
