How to position the -draw in imagemagick?

I am using imagemagick to draw a border on the top of an image.

THIS IS MY CODE:

convert source.jpg -stroke red -strokewidth 2 -fill transparent -draw \"roundrectangle 10,10 628,151 10,10\" source.jpg

This works fine but i need to be able to position the -draw where i want.

I tried to position the border like using -geometry like so:

convert source.jpg -stroke red -strokewidth 2 -fill transparent -geometry  +5+15 -draw \"roundrectangle 10,10 628,151 10,10\" source.jpg

But this does not position it where i want. I also tried using -gravity and that doesn't work either!

Could someone please advise on this?

Thanks in advance.

Bonzo is correct, you cannot use -geometry with -draw.

In ImageMagick with -draw you can also translate to where you want the center to be and then specify +- distances to the corners from the center placement.

Suppose you have a 100x100 size box you want draw and you want it centered at 250,250, then

convert input.jpg -stroke red -strokewidth 2 -fill transparent -draw "translate 250,250 roundrectangle -50,-50 50,50 10,10" output.png

That makes it easier to draw the same size boxes at different locations.
