Rose in Full Bloom Arching Over Thorny Stem

A single rose in full bloom curves across the top of the page, drawn with thick, bold outlines and layered petals that spiral in toward a small tight center. The stem bends in a long arc down to the lower left, with small pointed thorns along its sides. Three serrated leaves branch off near the flower, one on the upper left, one in the middle pointing right, and one hanging below. Because the lines are wide and the shapes are big, this one works well for younger kids using crayons or chunky markers. Try shading each petal layer a slightly different shade of red or pink so the spiral in the center stands out. Older kids can mix two greens on the leaves to show the front and back. It's a free printable that fits a Mother's Day card or a spring science lesson on plant parts.
