Hi Tom,
There is a good amount of roses images posted here on this site, using different metals,techniques and styles. A few months back (29 wks and 5 days ago, page 9) I posted " Flora" where I explained briefly my way of making roses. Any guide that gets you going will be more important for getting you going than for the exact technique.Soon you`ll find the way you like to skin the cat you know. Tom,hope that`s of some help, and please post your roses. I almost forgot to mention, not long ago I read an article explaining how some blacksmiths back in the old days, forged a rose from just a single piece of round stock,amazing! nelson.

I have made many roses of steel and copper if you would like more detail on the process in which I use I would be more than happy to help. I do all of my roses using only a torch some pliers a hammer and a lot of finesse.

I am the Bass Pro Shops Copper smith!!
