No. I think. It's hard to tell what you're actually asking.

Many of the properties that make something a good rocket fuel would also serve to make it a dandy explosive if confined rather than allowing the combustion products to escape (and thus propelling the rocket).

What are solid rockets?

The correct term is "solid propellant rocket". These are rockets that burn fuel that is not a liquid(or they are NOT liquid fuel rockets). These rockets have a fuel that is poured into the rocket case and turns to a solid. Once ignited, there is no stopping the burn or controlling it.A simple example of this is rocket you shoot on the 4th of July. It burns black powder that has been formed into a cardboard case.Whereas, a liquid fuel rocket can be controlled by varying the amount of fuel that is injected into the rocket motor.
