That is TERRIBLE advice. I'm sorry but absolutly terrible advice.
Get an image of a rose and start with a light general image, get a basic shape, a sphere or egg where the flower part is and a thin cylinder for your stem. try to work very lightly at this stage because you wont see any of it when your done.
Once you have a very general idea of where your image will sit on your page, and the basic shapes of each, start refining your image. be more specific about the shape of each part try not to get caught up in small details or any shading. As your shape starts comming together get more and more specific about each area defining individual pedals and leafs, adding thorns to the stem, water droplets, what ever detail you want to include. Once you have a nice line rendering of your drawing then start adding shade. figure out your darkest parts and your lightest parts, and compare the things inbetween two thoes parts.
If you start generally and are careful about the underlying part of the drawing then the details and small things will take care of themselves. Try to be patient and not rush into the details.
If you work on each area seperatly - stem - flower - leafs then you will have a much harder time keeping your proportions under controle, and your shading unified.
A good way to help your proportions is to draw a grid on your referance image and a grid on your paper that is exactly the same proportions that way you can compare how close the flower is to the grid line in each section.

Start with the frame. But be careful. Work with the main piece and then work with the detials. And DON'T make a fuss with it.
Otherswise you'll end up with scibles. And do it when you're relaxed enough. Not at a bad time. Oh, and before I forget, get a picture of a rose that you like and study it.
Hope it turns out great!

very lightly with pensil at first. take a pic of a rose. take an empty sheet and start sketching very lightly... set up the lines you like a little more. etc... practice makes perfect.

the best practice you can get is from observation. Find a rose and study it. it will help.

First the STEM, then LEAVES, THEN FLOWER, THEN PETALS, THEN DETAILS, Then Color in that same order.
