I like the gradation of the DOF of your image/photo here.
Think you managed a good balance of subject in focus and then that of moving towards a blurred background.
Nice colourations/tinting, as well.
Caveats?
I think/feel that by centering your subject (some times it works) you lost a bit of visual dynamics. A crop of the left-hand side, or portion of to be specific ... might be in order.
Being blunt, there is not much value added, visually that is, by the inclusion of that area.
Suggestion ... to my eye, and a quick take ... looks like you could lose a sixth of the overall size, width-wise.
And again, relegated only to the left-hand side. This would serve to offset your focal subject and lose some of the extraneous stuff. Just my opinion, of course. And you may very well disagree with it. No worries.
Some adjustments in exposure compensation (look in your camera's manual or search online to find out where that functionality resides in your camera's menus) and/or post processing would serve ... or could serve to bring out some more of the detail of the central part of the focal rose.
That nonsense of my aside, I like this one. Very nice feel and mood.
The texture in the background works well on a couple of levels. With the tinting you applied and then that of contrasting with the roses themselves.
A couple of tweaks and this goes from good ... to very good.
Well done on the final presentation and capture ... in summary. Know this.
