Pattern description
This counted cross-stitch pattern captures a richly detailed rose in deep rose and burgundy tones, accented with vibrant forest-green foliage. The blooming flower dominates a 129 x 129 stitch composition, showcasing delicate shading that creates dimensional petals and a natural, romantic aesthetic. Multiple buds in varying stages of opening add depth and movement to the design.
The color palette leans toward jewel tones—magentas, wine reds, and deep greens—creating a sophisticated, vintage-inspired mood that suits traditional and modern décor alike. With 11 DMC thread colors and intermediate skill level, stitchers will find satisfying complexity in the shading without overwhelming difficulty, making this an ideal project for developing layering and blending techniques.
Perfect for framing as home décor or gifting to flower enthusiasts, this rose design works beautifully on natural Aida fabric. The downloadable PDF chart and clearly marked DMC thread requirements make preparation straightforward. Whether stitched as a wall piece or incorporated into a larger needlework project, the timeless rose motif and rich color story ensure enduring appeal.
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.
