come up roses
End up wonderfully
To come up roses is to turn out well, especially after uncertainty or difficulty: I was worried about the move, but everything came up roses.
The phrase evokes a garden flourishing unexpectedly—what might have failed instead blooms.
Often appears as everything's coming up roses, suggesting broad success or good fortune.
