Step 1 :
In green: Place 6 dc in a ring. After the sixth dc, sl st to the top of the first dc to form a ring. Leave a small hole in the center of the MR - don't pull too tight, you need the hole to be big enough to fit your floral wire through.
Step 2 :
[Ch 7. Starting from the 1st stitch from your hook: (sl st, sc, hdc, dc, dc, tr)]. Sl st to the next stitch in the MR. Repeat this 6 times total to form 6 leaves of the calyx. FO after the sixth leaf and leave a short tail. Tie this tail and the tail from the MR in a knot and weave in the ends.
— Leaf Pattern :
Info :
Optional, 1 leaf per stem. First, cut approximately an 8" piece of 22 gauge flexible floral wire.

— Rose Assembly Part 1: The Petals :
Step 1 :
Begin with the side that does not have the yarn tails. Make sure the correct side of your work is facing you.
Step 2 :
For the first petal only, fold it in half on itself.
Step 3 :
Continue wrapping your work from right to left, folding the petals in on each other. The rose shape will become more pronounced.
Step 4 :
Once you reach the end of your work, adjust the petals to your liking. The center petals should be tighter and the outside petals looser, like a real rose.
Step 5 :
Thread your darning needle onto the longest tail for sewing.
Step 6 :
Sew several stitches horizontally to secure the very last petal.
Step 7 :
Sew several stitches through the base of your rose to secure it. These stitches do not need to be uniform. The more you sew, the more secure your rose will be.
Step 8 :
Once your rose is secure, sew one final stitch so your two yarn tails are next to each other. Tie the yarn tails in a knot, then weave the remaining tails in. Cut any excess yarn.
— Rose Assembly Part 2: The Wire, Calyx, and Leaf :
Step 1 :
Insert your floral wire through the center of your rose. Turn your rose upside down to make sure you can't see the wire from the top. Once satisfied with placement, remove the wire, place a small amount of hot glue on the wire, and reinsert it into the rose to secure it.
Step 2 :
With the wrong side of your calyx facing you, insert the floral wire through the middle of the MR. Push the calyx down the wire until it meets the rose.
Step 3 :
The calyx should be positioned so that there is a leaf between each of the rose petals.
Step 4 :
Once positioned properly, place a small amount of hot glue around the base of the rose. Slide the calyx down the wire to glue it in place.
Step 5 :
Place a small amount of hot glue along the leaves, leaving the top portion without glue. Glue the leaf down in place. Repeat this for all six leaves of the calyx.
Step 6 :
Place a small amount of hot glue at the base of the calyx and wire. Attach the same green yarn you used for the calyx and leaf. Quickly twist the wire to begin wrapping it before the glue dries.
Step 7 :
After wrapping the wire for about 1.5-2 inches, add your leaf. Hold the leaf with the wire parallel to the wire stem. Wrap the yarn around both the leaf and stem, securing the leaf in place. Continue wrapping the entirety of the stem.
Step 8 :
Once you've reached the end of the stem, place a small amount of hot glue. Continue wrapping the yarn over the hot glue to secure it in place. Cut off any excess.
