Pattern description
Two full-blown roses dominate this 53-stitch counted cross-stitch design, rendered in warm coral-pink tones with soft yellow highlights. Surrounded by a cascade of rich green leaves and stems in olive and sage hues, the composition balances large blooms with intricate botanical detail. The palette uses 15 DMC thread colors to create dimension and depth across intermediate-level needlework.
Stitched on Aida fabric, this pattern rewards careful attention to color gradation—the roses' shading from deep magenta to pale blush demands precision in thread selection and placement. The design works beautifully as a framed piece or sewn into a cushion cover, making it an ideal gift for garden enthusiasts or classic floral decoration lovers. The modest stitch count keeps project time manageable while the varied hues maintain visual interest throughout the needlework process.
