To elaborate on Nuwanda's comment about the challenge roses:

1) save your last two tries in the games until you've reached almost your max, then spin the wheel. Save 2 tries in case the first gives you 5 gems. If your spin lands on a number that's more than what you need to max out, that overage goes to your Social menu.

2) Don't collect your last arena challenge until after you've hit your max. Whatever your dragon wins (50/100/200) will go to your Social menu.

It requires careful math and sometimes a lot of extra work (I was 195 from my max last night before collecting the 4th arena challenge of the day, so I had to visit a ton of parks to get to the almost max and spin my wheel and THEN collect the 4th challenge and never got to the 5th). So far, I've banked 842 roses from these 2 methods, and that's with no being particularly lucky on that last wheel spin.
