Try this video (I learn best by seeing someone else do it! icon_rolleyes.gif ). I know it's not roses exactly, but I'm sure you can use the same technique to acheive something similar!




HTH!

I have not read all responses yet so I may be duplicating but, I think you are draging too far let the icing build up more before going around the cc then the second row should layer on top of the first a bit, yours looks like it is laying directly beside your first row instead of lifting a bit like on a ladder.
