Pattern description

Five deep crimson roses bloom across this 97×97 stitch counted design, their layered petals rendered in rich detail through a two-color palette of red and green. The composition cascades from delicate blooms at the top to fuller, more complex flowers toward the base, creating natural depth and movement.

Stitched on Aida fabric using just DMC red and green threads, this intermediate-level pattern rewards careful attention to the petal shading—white gaps within the red create dimension and texture that lift each rose from flat to sculptural. The simplified color scheme keeps the project accessible while maintaining striking visual impact.

Perfect for framing as a vintage-style botanical piece or stitching into a small pillow, this rose design suits anyone drawn to classic floral needlework. Whether stitched as a Valentine's gift, a garden lover's keepsake, or part of a collected series of flower patterns, the bold jewel-tone palette ensures it complements both traditional and contemporary décor.
