I miss the Sault. Ontario and Michigan! 
You folks are too hard on yourselves, you will do just fine. In the meantime, try experimenting with fondant or gumpaste roses and flowers, they are easy to make, realistic and you will feel good about the results!

Sometimes my favorite flowers to make are "whimsy-flowers". You don't need to follow any directions just make up a flower, if they're not "SUPPOSED" to look like a particular flower from nature they can't be made wrong!
Also, try the instructions on this site for making roses on a stick. I never could quite get the hang of making roses on a flower nail (my flower's base always seems to fall over before I get my petals on!) I used to decorate at a grocery store bakery and the "cake-tech" taught me to make roses on a stick. I've never made a rose on a nail since...and that was ten yrs. ago!!!
