Firstly, you should make sure you're using a reference, if you're not already. If you have a reference you should probably post it here. It's looking good so far, but I think it could do with some improvement. I made a bit of an edit:  I think you could play around with the colours a bit more, right now you're using a completely straight ramp, I think this could benefit from some hue shifting. I also removed or softened some of the outlines, since some of them made the rose look a bit too harsh and rugged. ------------- |

 i feel like you're taking the division between the petals at the rgiht way too drastically. looks more as if something cut that part of the rose. ------------- I ate leel's babies |

I'd be tempted to stick an extra couple of petals into that gap on the right side of the flower, even though you've stayed true to the reference image it looks a bit wierd without the leaves in the background. Otherwise looking good! |

I like the way the shading seems to blend together to make the rose seem a bit fluid. Nice colors.
Definitely needs leaves of come sort. The left side seems cut off without something to balance it.
