U r not the only one stressful abt that..

that rose had made my life miserable for weeks

I finally got it after 8 tries ... U have to believe that there was a twister who had 52 tries ... that's was he mentioned .. believe it or not...
As for ur question.. the way i did it.. the right petals go inside the left petal. Ohh... u have to make the balloons real soft.. its works very well with 5 petals 160s instead of 6 petals 160s.
here's the link to the Braided Rose instructions :-

Practice makes perfect.... all the best ok!
