Welcome to Gimp Chat, MissRemedy!

Finding a tutorial to do exactly what you want to do, especially when your new to a program, is not always easy or the best way to go. I'm sure you would like instant results but you would be wise to try to learn some Gimp basics first.
I suggest you go through this excellent introductory tutorial, Beginning with GIMP.

Welcome to Gimp Chat MissRemedy!
Check out youtube and the gimp registry.There is a script that creates flowers.
If you want it realistic looking try opening a rose image in Gimp, and make it a bit transparent.Now try and paint the colors and lighting over that layer. (separate transparent layers for each color), and see what it looks like.You may be surprised.
