File details:
Rose Tutorial, 13 pages, 74 photos, 5.26MB
Condensed Text from Rose tutorial, 3 pages, no photos, 8KB

Materials:
DMC Cebelia crochet thread or other tightly wound thread & appropriately sized hook.

Recommended:
Size 10 - 1.75mm hook - 2.5” diameter rose
Size 20 - 1.5mm hook - 1.75” - 2.25" diameter rose
Size 30 - 1.25mm hook - 1.5" - 1.75" diameter rose

The shank of the hook needs to be able to hold up to 11 loops for the rose. If your hooks don't allow this, or you find it too crowded, consider getting a cro-tat hook (2mm to use with size 10 thread). PRYM is a brand that is inexpensive & widely available online. It's unlikely to be an issue with size 20 thread & smaller.

Suggested Materials:
Yellow thread, glue, 18 gauge stem wire, floral tape, fine thread & rubber band.

Gauge:
Not essential. Tighter stitches make the rose easier to shape when using size 10 thread. The finer the thread you use, the looser you can make the stitches.

You need the following skills:
magic ring
chain
slip stitch
single crochet
picot
controlling tension
accuracy & attention to detail
patience

This rose uses a Tunisian Crochet stitch which is fully explained step by step and no prior experience with Tunisian Crochet is needed.

Tutorial does not included Baby's Breath.
