This is the same rose that I've been working on this week, but with another texture. The tonalities and this texture here led me to paint off more texture from the rose. A straight musical staff didn't do much for the rose, so by painting off more of the texture (which had varying opacities anyway) it made the rose 'stand out' a bit more.
