Sweet Rose
Rosie the rose is opening her beautiful petals for the very first time. She looks fancy, but she is friendly to every bug in the garden. Fill each curling petal with a color you love. Just remember to watch out for her two tiny thorns!
Rosie’s First Big Bloom
Rosie is opening her curled petals for the first time, making a beautiful flower shape with lots of little folds to color. She may look fancy, but she is a friendly garden bloom. Look closely for her two tiny thorns along the stem. They are a good reminder that roses are lovely to look at, but real rose stems should be handled gently and carefully.
Layer Colors on Rosie’s Petals
Choose red for a classic rose, or try pink, peach, yellow, white, or even purple. Use a darker shade near the curled parts of the petals to help the flower look deep and full. Color the stem and leaves rich green, then make the tiny thorns brown or dark green. A soft blue sky or light green garden background will frame Rosie’s bloom nicely.
Rose Facts for Curious Kids
Roses have been grown in gardens for a very long time and come in many colors, sizes, and scents. The sharp parts on rose stems are often called thorns, though they are technically prickles. Roses can grow as bushes, climbing plants, or small trees. Some rose hips, the fruit that forms after flowers fade, can be bright red or orange and are eaten by birds.
