This is the way the pattern came. But it is also available with just the rose or just the letter.

I use embroidery scissors and cut away the previous jumps each time I change colors. I do this without removing the hoop. That way you don't embroider over them...they show thru if you don't remove them. It's not so bad unless you have an unusual amount of stops. I think this one had 13 stops and about 10 shades. I could have used less greens and reduced the number of colors, probably will next time. This was my first sew out on this one. This kind of work is so gratifying.

oops..I replied to mops. I intended to answer your comment...please see above..I did a lot of cross stitch handwork so this was an easy change over for me. I still get the satisfaction without all the hours.
