This single stem red rose and bud has a graceful, botanical look, with one full bloom, a smaller bud, pointed leaves and visible thorns that keep it from feeling overly sweet. The red petals are lifted with touches of pink, while green, black and white detailing gives the stem and foliage clear definition. It suits anyone wanting a more traditional floral motif for romantic sewing, memorial pieces or refined everyday embellishment.
Because it is a dense, heavily stitched design with five thread colours, it has a solid, polished finish that stands up well on medium to heavier fabrics. It would look especially good on denim jackets, canvas totes, sweatshirt backs, apron fronts or the corner of a cushion cover where the vertical stem can sit naturally. On plain fabrics, the strong red bloom reads clearly from a distance, while the darker outlining helps the leaves and thorns hold their shape.
