Right click, duplicate twice.  Using the transform tool "flip vertically" than change to "rotate freely" and angle as shown.

Time to use the Edit Path Tool !

Select shape B45 and add nodes as shown below.  Next work on forming the left leaf, the right and lastly the center leaf.

Images below show how I placed nodes.

       

Continuing with the Edit Path, shape the petals of your rose bud.

Shift nodes and pull handles to form them as you desire.  The image to the left gives an example of what I did.

Activate the Paintbrush Tool set the color to black, the size to 1, soften paint edge at 2 and click on the paint as object (lightning bolt icon).

Doodle some lines on the petals and leaves.

When done, save your ufo.  Right click and duplicate it three times; close out the original.
