That last command has 3 images in it as far as I can see!
Making it a three image masked composition!

Also composite is does not seem to understand all options.

However you can do a -blend compose in "convert"  It just isn't as
straight forward.

The better idea however is to just colorize a rose image then overlay a
trimmed down original in the center.

    convert rose: -fill red -colorize 25% \
            \( rose: -shave 10x10 \) \
            -gravity center -composite   rose_blend.png

It isn't a blend, but it is a near equivelent.  Less processing too.

This is very simular to 'self framing images'
    http://imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/
Except that we are doing a red de-contrast inside the image rather than
adding an enlarged lower contrast copy of the image around the original.


I am however still not certain that is what the original requester is
wanting as it is a little unclear.
