I like the phrases "delapidated cottage" and "bitter blades" more than what you have in the other poem, but overall, I think the other one is better because it goes more into detail about the little rosebud's dreams. lol. It makes me think of me! :)

Lol, really I am in no mood for much explanation, I don't think I could give one very well, but regardless, just for fun, I took your poem and twisted some things around, added words, deleted lines and phrases I thought hurt the poem with a kind of staleness. Anyway, see if any of this catches your eye, and feel free to use it or play off it. Let it inspire change, but only if you want it to ;-)
A hidden acre
Buries a cottage's dilapidated wood,
Overgrown with a greiving garden.
Walk in
You may find the start of a
Rosebud beautifully
Trying to sway her way to the sun.
Striving growth to reach the lit top,
And better trying to make her best,
But no matter,
Twisted weeks suffocate her advances.
Though this red rose buds
And knows
She will outgrow those bitter
Blades.
teach me how to love, but not the way most dream of.
