My Rose Spike Petal Pattern
I made many free and pay for, rose patterns and I was not happy with the way they worked up. Inspired by some and styling them the way I was eventually happy with, I came up with a pattern for a rose which I liked.
There is no tricky assembly and the flower rolls up into a rose, not like something that resembles a rose.
I know roses come in many shapes and colors, but this is the rose I was aiming for. Cupped and spiked petals, I also came up with a 3 petal calyx that is made in one piece. The two parts come together very nicely.

I wanted a thicker leaf vein and a faster way to make 3 leaves, so I came up with this idea
