Pattern description
A crimson rose in full bloom stands alone against a warm, muted background in this intermediate 100×100 stitch design. The rich jewel-toned petals graduate from deep maroon to bright coral, while the green stem and leaves create natural balance. Stitched in 18 DMC thread colors, the pattern rewards patient needlework with dimensional, lifelike results that capture the delicate layering of rose petals.
This counted cross-stitch project works beautifully on standard Aida fabric and suits crafters ready to move beyond beginner patterns. The color palette—sophisticated yet accessible—makes it ideal for framing as wall art or gifting to flower lovers. Whether you choose it for its symbolic association with love and forgiveness or simply for its timeless appeal, the finished piece brings quiet elegance to any space.
