Gorgeous tones in the rose.
For me, the jury is still out on the blurred sky background. Seeing such a natural-looking rose against an unnatural-looking sky immediately says, to me anyway, this is not natural, as we tend not to be looking up at roses, and, if we are, it wouldn't be straight into the rose like this shot is. It's a juxtaposition that just "doesn't compute" in my wee pea-sized brain.
However, I would imagine this would work very well for many photo buyers. Nicely done for changing things up!
