Step by steps are kind of a jokey thing here, but still good. Mostly follows my mental process of failure, no wait I got it! Wheee I did it!!! <3
Step 1.) Locate a reference image and pretend you know what you are doing while trying to sketch it. (potentially fail miserably)
Step 2.) take skills garnered from step 1 to essentially redraw the rose in a much better manner.
Step 3.) Pick appropriate colors and flat in the rose.
Step 4.) Add some shading, realize you fail miserably at rose proportions.
Step 5.) Decided you chose the wrong Rose color after all and use the Hue/Saturation settings to change it!  Use a luminosity layer to add some highlights, add more shading.
Step 6.) Do some more shading. Use the airbrush tool to create a gradient highlight leading top to bottom. Then do the same with a gradient shadow from bottom to top. Add more highlight/shadow.  Try to follow contour of Rose.
Step 7.) Cheer gleefully! You have made a rose! Overlay effect with dark red, and lilac for rose, and yellow for leaves add pleasing glow.
