Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch design captures a luxuriant spray of deep crimson and coral roses tumbling from a cream-colored cone holder, rendered in rich jewel tones across 118 x 118 stitches. The composition draws the eye upward through layers of blooms in varying shades of red and pink, accented by deep forest-green leaves that frame each petal. With 20 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill requirements, this pattern balances accessible complexity with rewarding visual depth. The warm, romantic palette makes this needlework ideal for framing as bedroom or parlor décor, or gifting to gardeners and flower enthusiasts. Worked on standard Aida fabric with DMC threads, the design's vertical orientation and soft ombré transitions between rose tones create movement and dimension that translates beautifully to finished needlework. This piece suits anyone seeking a classic floral project with sophisticated color blending.
Stitch planning checklist
- Measure your fabric against the stitch count to confirm finished size.
- Sort floss by symbol before you start; pre-thread a few needles for speed.
- Work in small blocks to keep counting accurate and spot mistakes early.
- Backstitch at the end of each session so outlines stay crisp.
