What you could have done is duplicated the rose image and added a dark orangey-brown photo filter, unless you want to keep the gray, then adding a grayscale would have done the trick. Once that's done, take a large softbrush, change the opacity to about 30% and carefully remove the parts you don't want. It gives a smoother transition and also leave it to the single rose. Not to mention it will remove those strange splotches.
