Large Open Rose with Ruffled Petals and Leaves

A single big flower sits at the top of a long, thin stem, drawn in loose, sketchy black lines. The petals overlap in layers around a small spiral bud shape in the center, and several petal edges have a ruffled, jagged look. A large smooth leaf stretches out to the left behind the bloom. Lower down, a smaller leaf with visible veins points to the right, and a tiny pointed leaf sits near the bottom left of the stem. A small sepal shape is tucked under the flower head. The lines are wide and easy to follow, so younger kids can color without much trouble. Try shading each petal layer a slightly different tone of pink or red, so the overlapping edges stand out and the center spiral looks like it sits deeper in the flower.
