Help With Butter Cream Roses Please Edges Look Bad

Good advice above. That's the first thing to consider. Also, if the tip is opened and the petals still look jagged, you might try using a larger tip (if you're using 101-103, you might try 104 or 124).
If that doesn't help, and you're considering thinning your buttercream again, what are you thinning it with? If you're using liquid (because they are melting), try using more shortening. Good luck!
Maybe you are turning your nail too fast compared to the amount of pressure. This solved my problem.
Mine do that and people tell me all the time they try to get their roses to look like that and they can't haha so I quit worrying about it..however if you put a little corn syrup in your bc that should take care of it 
It also has something to do with bubbles in the buttercream. If it isn't as smooth as can be, while your piping, the bubbles come out of the thin edge, making them look ripped and tattered. Thinning it the slightest bit helps. Like half medium/half stiff consistency. Then I scoop and smooth my bc on the edge of my bowl a few times before I put it in my bag (if that makes sense..). It helps getting most of those air pockets out.
