Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a lush red rose in full bloom, surrounded by rich emerald-green leaves and accented with pale yellow highlights that add dimensional depth. The 100x100 stitch count creates a perfectly balanced square composition ideal for framing as a standalone botanical study. With 27 DMC thread colors, stitchers will enjoy the intermediate-level challenge of blending naturalistic shades to render the rose's velvety petals and the subtle gradations in the foliage, making this a rewarding project for those ready to advance beyond basic patterns. The warm red tones of the flower against cool greens create an inviting jewel-like color palette that works beautifully as home décor year-round. Whether stitched on white or cream Aida fabric, this classic rose design makes an elegant gift for gardeners, romantic occasions, or anyone who appreciates traditional needlework. The straightforward rectangular format translates easily to a framed piece or can be incorporated into larger projects for stitchers looking to build a floral collection.
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.
