Each full rose is composed of fifteen petals or more.

With your beading wire wrap around the folded stamens or substitute anchoring it to the covered floral wire stem. The first three petals are overlapped slightly and rolled around the stamens (or a piece of yellow fringed tissue/Crepe Paper used as a substitute) to form the center of the rose. Be sure you keep your petals level as you roll them. Wrap a piece of beading wire around the base of your petals to anchor them to the stem wire and the stamens. If your rose center is tightly closed you may not need the stamens.

The second row consists of five petals. These are also overlapped slightly and arranged around the rose center so that all the petal edges are staggered. Wrap with beading wire to hold this row of petals to the stem wire and the rose center.

Row three is composed of seven petals, again overlapped slightly and staggered as you arrange them to form the outer layer of your rose. Wrap with beading wire anchoring the outer layer of petals to the rose base being careful to keep the tops of your petals level to give your rose a more natural look. Cover the base of the rose down onto the stem wire with floral tape pulling it gently so it will stick to itself as you roll.

The top corners of each petal should be rolled to the outside around a pencil or small dowel. If using Crepe Paper you can stretch the edge of the petal slightly to ruffle it.

Leaf:

For each leaf cut two leaf shapes. Place the beading wire in the center of the leaf between the two and glue in place. Cover the wire with floral tape and add along the rose stem wire as needed.
