The rose itself is fine but the problems that remain with the picture and that you already know about are too distracting to leave as they are.
As you have mentioned, the pattern on the cloth is still visible especially on the lower right hand side of the shot, also as that is an area of open space your eyes notice it in the blank. The lighting conditions have also served to highlight specs or tiny reflections from the cloth too. This area needs more blurring applied and if that doesn’t cure both problems then you should use the clone tool to remove the highlights.
The second issue is the white reflection on the leaves witch again is distracting when compared to the lovely deep smooth tones of the rose. If you shot in RAW and have access to suitable software you can back off just the highlights and reprocess the file, if not you are looking at the dodge and burn tools in PS or maybe even a soft brush set on very low opacity to paint it out slightly.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a strong picture as is, but there are faults which give you room for improvements and with it being in this section of the forums ,that’s were I am directing my attentions.
