I'm fairly confident you get the roses as you go, but not positive because I haven't tried to start a game and not finish yet. What I would say is my advice off of my strategy. I got the same 5 to complete, got 320 roses, so that's an average of 64 roses per turn. The average (with today being a double day) is a little over 37 for the wheel of chance. Now if I wait till I have 5 roses left till max with 3 turns I'm almost guarenteed to bank either a little under 30 or 80. But with the matching game I have to be able to find them so while it looks like a good idea to use a couple turns there and then switch to the wheel chances are your first few moves will be finding the first cards, and then you'll get a few free moves once you start finding second cards to match. So my strategy today is to test it, I'm going to play and try to leave either the ribbon (100 roses) or the envelope (60 roses) till the end then match that once I get close to max. If it's cleared my game, I'll know I messed up, if it doesn't I'll be able to almost guarentee a higher banking average. But at this point, assuming I'm right, I wouldn't say make a match is worth playing unless you have 5...maaaaaybe 4 moves left and that you should stick to wheel of chance then, but if I'm right then you have to weigh whether having close to 50 extra banked roses a day is worth never getting gems from the wheel. If you don't value gems that highly (you spend more money on the game, or have played long enough you have what you want) then going for the banked is obvious. If the gems you'd get are worth more than extra banked roses, then I'd say start off spinning the wheel until you get gems or only a couple moves left, then decide on spinning vs make a match. I'll let you know if it worked leaving a high value for last when I reach max.
