I just tried those i tried to do them its in one of my little cakes they aren't very good but there are intructions on the back of the wilton book yes is basically a strip and you roll it loosen up as you go to make it open up then it says to use the little tool with the ball to spread it out i make no sense hope you have the wilton yearbook
wilton calls these ribbon roses and crazy enough I think they are harder to achieve than regular fondant roses. I find it real hard to get them to look right. Maybe because I am left handed? no sure. Anyhow if you have a wilton yearbook, the instructions are usually in there or online.
I agree they take some practice to make them look like roses. I found if you hold them at the "bottom" as you roll, they are looser. Then you open, by pushing gently, the rolled parts to make them look more like petals. There is another method where the fondant is folded in half and then rolled. I like the look of this technique better than the single strip. And for the life of me I can't find the directions, I know it exists!
Yes, its a strip of fondant that is folded lengthwise, when ya roll it up, make sure the fold is the top part of the rose...I spent a whole day rolling these things over and over again, just playing with them, trying to get them the way I wanted.
Yeh, thats what I did too, in the end I was very pleased with them and left them to dry.......THEN THE FLIPPING DOG ATE EM!!!!, 
but it was MY fault....I'm usually very careful in keeping my work out of reach...must have had a Senior moment...

...lol...Denise thats so funny!!!! Darn dogs!
"Darn Dogs" indeed Wendoger, but after the "cow eyed look" he gave me, I forgave him....Good job I love him so much... I was so much looking forward to putting them on a cake with "fabric drapes" they look lovely together.....aaahhh well, I will try again.
