I think your center turned out absolutely beautiful. I was taken by the rose blocks they are lovely.
If you are still unhappy with it when the borders are added you might applique another rose to the white or embroider something there. I think its stunning as is.

Thoughts? I'm tough-skinned, so honesty is good. I could do a Plan B.

For some reason I am having a hard time focusing, on this project.

Yeah I threw it into that "I don't know what to do with it" pile. lol
I just finished up 144 HSTs for the new center I am working on. I love the new colors. So I guess I just wasn't working on what I wanted.

Calico, you might take a bit of embroidery floss and stitch in a little rose right into that white center. You you're worried about how it will look you could try tracing the rose in the center of your stars or personally I like to use cookie cutters for patterns.
I love those stars though, you did a great job. :D
