Painted Vintage Roses

Hi everyone, do you have or can indicate a simple tutorial for painting vintage roses? I have just finished my 23rd Wedding Anniversary cake and have painted some simple flowers on it and I really loved it (will be posting it soon, as I still need to take the photos). It was the first time that I ever painted on anything, let alone sugar, but I really loved it. Now, I would really love to paint some vintage roses on my daughter’s birthday cake, but I don’t know how to go about it as roses seem very difficult to paint, so any help you can give me would be appreciated.
