I'm with viewbaker. Just make sure those c's are not flat. Also, don't be so strict with yourself trying to use the wilton method. What I did was spread out a big sheet of parchment and tape it down, then just start making row after row of those things till my own technique developed. Now I have a unique rosebud other people ask me about (don't have any in my pics, sorry), and I'm happy with them. You will get it, too. Just give yourself time.
Try making interlocking c's thats what I do and get perfect rosebuds everytime....
Which direction? I cant get the rose bud down either!
I struggled with it and came up with my own way. As mentioned try the interlocking "C" to get it. I do it that way--sort of. I looked at the rosebud and seeing the shape tried to reproduce it not using the Wilton method and that it what worked for me. A few practice tries and it worked. You can do it!
Sophiebell, I've done the same thing. I had a cake to make last month and just made dozens and dozens of them and did get 5-6 good ones out of the sheet of them! But I can't seem to get more consistant.
awolf24, I always do sweetpeas too! I rock at those! LOL!
I will try this interlocking C method... I can't seem to imagine it, but once I get the piping bag in hand it might make more sense. If anyone has any more descriptions/pictures I'd be interested!

I also do the interlocking c's and it works for me. I do the first c like you would normally make a c. For the second one I place my tip inside the first c as near to the center as I can then I do a backward c motion around the first c. Then I come back with green and make a small stem and those little stamen thingys. I hope this made sense. It's really easy to do.
I teach Wilton, so I have to "teach the Wilton Way", but I also show my students an adaptation I saw in a cake decorating book. It's the "n" motion combined with the "c" motion. All one motion- without pulling away.
Sounds weird, but looks good!
The book is "The Well Decorated Cake" by Toba Garrett and the technique is on page 53.
Good Luck all!
