It'd be more correct to say round or unround.

Irrational specifically means infinite non-repeating decimal values, or equivalently that a number can't be represented as any fraction. This is independent of number system.

Sometimes "more irrational" is used as a way of saying further from any small-integer fraction by some measure, but that doesn't really work here.
