Painted Rose

Still on your rose layer, click on your retouch tool and use the following settings

Now we want to gently sofeten our petals but not too much, you don't want to make them fuzzy

Once again, try and stay away from your image edges or you make make them fuzzy

now go to your layer pallette and delete all your layers except for the rose and stem layers

Then go to
Layers>Merge>Merge Visible

and we are done!

Use your new rose as a tube or embelleshment...what ever your heart desires!
