Technically, this shot is superb. The lighting is great, and the exposure shows the details throughout the flower. Also, the contrast between the green and red is nice.
Compositionally, I think this shot could have had a bit more *oomph.* As it is, it feels slightly unbalanced and static. By having the focused rose rising so far above the rest, the composition "feels" top heavy. Also, because of the tight crop and almost-centered composition of the main flower, the viewer looks at the flower, then proceeds on. There is nothing to keep the viewer looking, or nothing to help the viewer move about the frame.
Suggestions -- If you had 34 other roses (happy birthday!) you had the potential to really have a nice full composition. If you wanted to have the one isolated like you have, I think having a wider crop on the top and right would have helped. The nice clean white background would have created negative space and forced the focus onto the one rose.
Good work and best wishes in future challenges.
