Rotate the tomato and skin the outer layer off using the sharp knife. Continue to rotate the tomato and very carefully peel off the outer skin into one big piece.
Starting from the loose end, very carefully start to roll the tomato skin up until you reach the bottom part and rest the rolled up tomato on that base piece.
You will have a whole tomato with no skin left over. You can chop the tomato up and use it in whatever you are cooking, then use the rose as a garnish on the side.
