Ted, I think there isn't any problem with your focus, because certain parts of your splendid roses photograph are very sharp. Minor areas have the appearance of a slightly 'blur', but I think it's bokeh that is mistaken by blur. Anyhow a wonderful picture of these 'floral queens'!
If you think you can't accept something, try to change it. But if this doesn't work, don't be frustrated, but give it later another try. The one who perseveres wins!
