Rolled Rose for Packaging

One of my favorite rose pattern is the "Rolled Rose and Rosebud" by Lesley Stanfield, which I found through Lionbrand.com:

Link to Rolled Rose pattern.

It is a fairly simple pattern to follow, basically:

Work 7 picots

R1 - chain 5, sc in first chain, [chain 8, sc in 5th st from hook] repeat 6 times, chain 1 turn,

R2 - [sc in next 7 st, sl in next st] repeat across picots, FO yarn.

Attach yarn at last chain of R1, chain 1,

R3 - [sc in next 2 st, 2hdc in next 3 st, sc in next 2 st, sl in next st] repeat 5 times, FO yarn.

Attach yarn at first chain of R3, chain 1,

R4 - [sc in next 2 st, hdc in next st, dc in next 4 st, hdc in next st, sc in next 2 st, sl in next st ] repeat 3 times, leave tail, FO yarn.

Start from smallest picot, roll and form petals, use yarn tail to sew through all rolled sides.

Note: you can make a larger rose by increasing the number of picots and increasing the number of repeated section in R3 and R4.
I added my own Leaf:
[chain 14, sl in 2nd st from hook, sc in next st, hdc in next st, dc in next 2 st, tr in next 2 st, dc in next 2 st, hdc in next 2 st, sc in next st, sl st in next st], chain 1, work around the chained stitches: [repeat].
Leave tail, FO yarn, use tail to sew to back of rose.

I have started to use these roses as part of my packaging, they add a special touch to the packages.
