The "rose" is the center dot on any face that has one (i.e. 1, 3, and 5) and the "petals" are all dots around it -- the 1 face has no petals, the 3 face has two petals and the 5 face has four petals. The die faces without center dots (i.e. 2, 4, and 6) do not count. Counting the total petal dots yields that round's answer.
Alternately, one may sum the faces of odd dice, and then subtract the number of them. Thus, in a roll of 1, 3, 4, 5, and 3, the odd faces sum to 12. There are four odd dice, so the solution is 12-4, or 8.
