checking whether the polynomial has a rational root

Hello there,

I have a polynomial f which has all its roots purely imaginary, that is, if f(z)=0, then z=ix for some real number x. I'm using the following command to check whether all the roots.

f.roots(ring=CC)

Now I define g(x)=f(ix). Then, all the roots of g(x) are real. I want to print only the rational roots of g. So I tried:

g.roots(ring=QQ)

But I'm getting the following error:

Unable to coerce I to a rational

How to fix this?
