it had just finished raining when I took this photo, in the early summer... I turned the background black and white to make the roses stand out more

Holly,
Turning the bg b&W is very creative and works well for you intended purpose.
A few suggestions for you to consider. Normally it would be nice to have the main subject isolated and standing out from the crowd so to speak. If you can, it would be nice if the partial top bloom is not overlapping. Also wish for more room at the top so that the main bloom is not so close as to nearly touching the edge. There is slight halo around the flower which may be due to the bg selection process or over sharpening.
It would be good if you could also critique other images as well. You will find that you learn just as much by looking at other images critically as you would from getting feedback from others.

Gary has given good specific advice. I agree with him. A final word—to make the copyright symbol, hold down the ALT key while typing 0169.
