Becky, cathy and Sunshine
Below is rose crochet pattern, which I know you will all love, because it is so very simple. Cathy, this pattern makes the flower heads of the roses, you must sew them on or attach the roses to stems, but if you read the pattern you will see they make 2 to 4 inch blossoms, small, medium and large buds, fast and so simple for a chrocheter, sorry for the post if others want to delete this.


Red Valentine Roses 
 
Crochet Hook: H/8 or 5 mm hook

Fasten Off To Finish: Thread the tail of the yarn onto your yarn needle. As you roll the piece to create the shape of your rose, stitch along the starting chain
(botton) to keep the rose shape. Bury ends (Note: you may leave ends long for use in attaching to other projects)
NOTE: Your roses and rose buds will appear different in relation to the tension you use in both rolling and sewing. Size will also be affected using different size hooks and yarn.
To Make Rosebuds: Using the same instructions as above. 
Small rosebud use a chain of 12. 
Medium rosebud use a chain of 15
Small Rose use a chain of 21
Medium Rose use a chain of 34
