Bring classic floral detail to your stitching with this stylised rose, worked as a bold red bloom with a neat spiral centre and softly shaped petals. It suits anyone who wants a rose that reads clearly at a glance without looking fussy or overworked. The single-colour treatment keeps the look graphic and tidy, so it works especially well if you like simple motifs with a strong outline.
Because the stitching is open and lightly laid, it sits more easily on shirts, blouses, cotton tote bags and the chest or cuff of a denim jacket than a heavier floral would. It is a good choice for adding a rose to linen aprons, sweatshirt fronts or the corner of a cushion cover where you want colour and shape without too much fill. With a broad size range available, it can be used as a small accent or given more space to show off the swirl of the bloom.
