Deep Crimson Rose with Green Stem

Pattern description

A single deep red rose in full bloom dominates this 95-stitch counted cross-stitch pattern, captured at the height of its velvet-textured splendor. The jewel-toned crimson petals unfold against a clean white background, while a sturdy green stem anchors the composition with graceful, naturalistic leaves. The color palette—rich reds, earthy greens, and crisp white—creates a timeless, romantic mood that suits both traditional and contemporary needlework collections.

Stitched with 15 DMC thread colors on Aida fabric, this intermediate-skill design rewards patient needleworkers with a striking finished piece. The pixel-by-pixel detail in the petal shading and leaf veining adds depth without demanding expert-level technique, making it an ideal choice for stitchers ready to move beyond simpler patterns.

Whether framed as a standalone botanical study or paired with sentimental text, this rose works beautifully as a romantic gift, Valentine's keepsake, or anniversary memento. Its compact 95 × 95 stitch count means it can be completed in a weekend or two, yet the finished result carries the elegance of a jeweler's work—perfect for gift-giving or as a cherished addition to your own needlework collection.
