Anyone have a strong knowledge of Latin?

I'm going to ask this question just to confirm it is correct for what or how I'm using it. I don't know anything about Latin so I'm not positive what details are needed to make sure of that but I'll try to give as much as I can think of. I need to make sure this is right because I'm getting it tattooed on my ribs. "collige rara avis rosas sed sapere aude" I want it because I know collige virgo rosas has a similar meaning to carpe diem. I changed out virgo because rara avis is used to describe something extraordinary or unusual( something I'm calling myself I suppose) Also it is going above a sun/birds tattoo so I thought it was fitting. The sapere aude I also wanted to incorporate because I don't believe in siezing the day without being wise about it. I'm a girl. I don't know if any of that information would mean I'd need to change the sentence at all though. I would appreciate feedback greatly as this will be permanent. Thank you
