limits on garden waste as mulch?

For example, I wouldn't put maple clippings as mulch, they might transmit bacterial cankers or even verticillium. I'd probably not put rose, and although I did use a lot of willow the other day after putting it through the machine, now I wonder if that was wise. Things like elder or hedge laurel, give me no qualms. So, what garden waste would be unsafe to use ground up as mulch around trees and shrubs? Thanks, -E P.S. saw the first snowdrops poking up this afternoon! The world is full of diseases, fungii and bacterii. I don't worry about it. Bung it all through the machine. .................................................. ....................... and then put it on the compost heap and leave it for a year :-)) THEN sift it and use it as a top mulch :-)) We have done this for ages and it works. :-)) Mike -- ....................................
