CUTE family - I am stitching up some roses and I would like to know - what is your favorite thread color for an embroidered ROSE? If you have more than one - let me know, please.

I will try the link again in a little different way. If all else fails go to the Madsen Originals website and search on rose. The Roses in the Mirror link will come up for you to open.

6340It was a set called 'Roses In the Mirror' from Madsen Originals. She came over with the magazine for me to help her order it. She doesn't do very well with buying and downloading on line so I help her with it. It was a magazine that I do not receive but I think it may have been Designs in Machine Embroidery. The set was featured in an article in the magazine.
She made a white blouse and put the small rose designs on each side of the collar. On the top of the back part of the blouse she used the large rose design inside the frame. She used white organza just like the picture shows on the website. She called me this afternoon and said she has it almost finished and will bring it over when it is completed. It is an unusual set of designs. Here is a link for the set.

Yes, it is nice to have a neighbor that shares my interests. She just got a new BabyLock serger that threads itself for her birthday. I am envious. We also share a close birthday. Mine is May 26 and hers is May 28. Our mother's had the same first name too. How odd is all that. She has a fantastic sewing room that is huge.

Marcelle, thank you for the info - the link didn't work, however.
Both my mother and Rick's (my DH) mother have the same first name and almost the same middle name. Hehehe! Mine was Loretta Jean and his was Loretta Jane - all the same letters.
6340I love them all. Especially the yellow or the peachy coral ones. I will share something that happened to me. I bought a yellow climbing rose that was yellow. The first two years it bloomed yellow. Then last year it was a pale pink. It now has blossoms on it and I am anxious to see what it does this year. I did not know they changed colors like that. Hugs, Mary

Mary, I had never heard that roses did that either - please let us know - what happens this year.

petals sometimes change colors with the age of the bloom. However if you cut it back each year the "Hybrid" rose could have reverted to its origional wild stage. Either way they are pretty.

119791My neighbor just finished the roses set that was featured in a magazine this month inside an applique frame and on the collar. She used a medium yellow for the roses and the outlines were a peachy pink. I was impressed at how beautiful the colors were. I am going to try some that color.

Marcelle, you have an embroidery neighbor - how wonderful is that? Please share your finished project with us and let us know who the designer is - we all don't get every magazine - so may not know which set you are speaking of - I know I don't. It sounds so lovely.
6340Good morning, Shirlene. My favourite rose is yellow. Hope you and Rick are have a great Sunday. It is raining here and very chilly. No flood though, I feel sorry for the people in the southern states and in Manitoba Canada. We can handle a couple of days of rain. Take care, Hugs Lynn

Cathie, if there were only way to make our thread smell like a rose, too - wouldn't that be heaven?
8073Dear Shirlene, my favorite roses in my garden are the red ones, dark and deep red,with a great scent. But, when I make embroidery I find only many different shade of colours thread in the pink. I have found not enough different threads in red, a little better in yellow. And you Shirlene what do you do?

Claude, your roses sound wonderful - I hope I can make many different shades for mine, too. I actually love peach for a rose.
25533Hi Shirlene - I like to use a range of 3 or 5 threads in the same tone for roses, deep centres, pale outer petals to dark edges. Mostly I use pinks ranging to burgundy, lavender-mauves/purple, yellow-golds/copper. Just about anything goes.
It also depends on what colour fabric I'm embroidering and for what reason.
I like to really make a crazy statement with roses and their colours. I think God would approve because He does the same thing.

Alma, what a lovely visual you have created - if only there were a way to always have several colors in our digitized roses. And I do believe that God would approve.

lani, these are all lovely colors and it is very hard to choose a favorite.
10084I say a peachy color or orangy and then I see one in another color and ohhhh so pretty - it's very easy to change what is your favorite when there are so many varied colors and one just as beautiful as the next - but red at the bottom of my list.

Black is lovely! We used to grow a lot of roses in Victoria( my DH had over 100 bushes) and there was a red one that was so dark it was almost black. Gorgeous!
360635I like all colors But if I had to pick one it would be yellow.
red
There’s nothing secret about the red rose’s symbolism of love. Valentine’s Day would hardly exist without this bold and dramatic bloom. The ultimate symbol of romantic love and enduring passion, the red rose also conveys respect and the creative spirit of love. Representing true love stronger than thorns, the red rose is known universally as the lover’s rose.
Shop for red roses
white
Representing, humility, purity and innocence, the white rose - often referred to as the bridal rose - is associated with young love. In Scotland, when the white rose bloomed in autumn, it was seen as a token of early marriage. Also symbolizing truth and reverence, it sends a message of loyalty and says "I am worthy of you."
Shop for white roses
yellow
While in Victorian times, the yellow rose symbolized jealousy, today it represents friendship, joy and caring. A bouquet of these sun-filled blossoms conveys warmth, gladness and affection.
Shop for yellow roses
pink
Symbolizing gentility, femininity, elegance and refinement, the pink rose also carries additional meanings depending on its hue. A deep pink conveys gratitude and appreciation, while pale shades connote grace and gentleness, admiration and happiness.
Shop for pink roses
orange
With their warm, vibrant tones, orange roses symbolize enthusiasm and desire. If you’re looking for a way to express admiration and attraction - with an underlying message of passion and excitement - then send a bouquet filled with these fiery blooms.
Shop for orange roses
lilac & purple
Thought to be almost mystical in nature, with symbolism tied to enchantment, desire and even proceeding cautiously, it’s not surprising that lilac and purple roses send a message of love at first sight, A great Valentine flower.
Shop for lilac and purple roses
multi-colored roses
In some instances - usually when mixing red with another color rose - you can send additional messages with your choice of bouquet. For example, a combination of red and yellow roses conveys gaiety and happiness, while a mix of red and white roses symbolizes unity.

Mil Lil, those are so lovely - too bad about the storm ruining your roses. Perhaps if you cut the rose hips - you will get more soon.
145791Roses are special in my family , my grandmother loved yellow roses, my mother loved pink wild roses, my dad transplanted some from the woods to our backyard as a surprise gift for her. Me, my favorite is called feista, it starts out dark pink and as it opens up it turns yellow with pink edges, so i get both pink and yellow roses in memory of two special ladies in my life.

Thank the professional rose breeders for the photo; sorry, but I din't take it. These are gorgeous roses, but I guess it would be difficult to do in FSL. If anyone can do this, it would be YOU!

20276I love all rose colors but, I carried on my wedding day coral roses, (some call them salmon) and they are beautiful. I am also very partial to the red rose. When I first started dating my husband he brought me 1 red rose each date until I had 12 long stemmed roses. That was 12 days in a row.

Yes, Deanna, those sound lovely - now to get someone to digitize them - so that they look that way.

Sue, that is just what I am trying to achieve - that is why I asked - Hehehe!
140717Roses are my favorites:
I have collected some pretty colours esp for roses.
I have 3 diff shades of pink, and 3 shades of blue and so on.. Then to stitch them out I study the design to see what the digitizer did with her shading and then go according to where the darker shades are to be. I can then change the same rose design into different colour schemes I like.
From Bev
Ps pics of my quilt in progress all the flowers are done similar for this quilt

Well Shirlene if someone accused me of being fickle I would not argue, but I think it is a woman's prerogative to change her mind, so for today I like yellow. hehehehe.
19430I think the Peace rose is beautiful. It is a deep yellow with coral edges.

Oh yes, - this is hard to achieve - unless the digitizer makes it special, but I will see what I can do.

160412853Shirlene, I use to raise roses and I had a rose that was red inside the petal and white/silver on the outer side and it was to die for......too bad the soil where I live now will not grow roses like that.....
but that would be hard to pull off in an embroidery rose but knowing you......you could figure it out....
I also like yellow roses.....what is your favorite?

Dianne, that sounds lovely - do you have a picture? I would love to see it. Sometimes it depends on the design, too.
I like all roses: peach the most - red, yellow, pink, white, light lavender and the variegated ones are special, too.
15874Personally I love all Yellow roses, but I do have a soft spot for the Applause rose (1) and the Blue moon rose(2). I love any of the blue/purple roses that are being bred. Love and blessings Chris

loosie, how fun to go looking with your daughters - that color sounds lovely and I always like the yellow, too.
24276I am not a pastel person, so I tent to love vivid shades. I think my sorority rose was the jacoment rose. what ever that was. I have been working on a Mary Kay cosmetics rose for a customer which is a pink rose. What do you have in mind?

I spelled it wrong. It is Jacqueminot. I think. Google that and see if it comes up official rose for Alpha Omicron Pi. It is a famous rose. Kay

If this is for your lace business, I think it would be a nice touch to include a small comment about the meaning of the color of the rose printed on a small tag (as suggested by Devon above). If people buy them as a gift, it may have added meaning.
