I’ve been told my roses aren’t great and I need to know what needs to be improved as I want to be able to sell professional cakes featuring piped flowers. I need mask off opinions of this these roses. Thank you so much.

These are a wonderful starting point. It looks like you have your petals overlapping nicely and are gradually adjusting the angle to open the flower. I think the biggest tip would be to create a much taller base for your flower, as that will give you more height and result in a more rounded, natural shape. I’d also play with adding just a smidge of green to your frosting to give a more natural color. The red is wonderful, but muting it slightly will help it look more realistic.

I think the roses look great, your skill in not the issue rather the type of icing is. It looks quite firm as is broken away and left some edges misshapen rather than smooth. Might be a trial and error situation until you find the perfect icing recipe to make smooth round edged roses!

My only suggestion would be few petals. Maybe half as many or there about. In general, too many petals gets you into cabbage looking zone.
