Jade Starmore, as quoted on Virtual Yarns: “Outside the studio windows there are many rose bushes, planted and tended by my mother, who is an avid gardener. Because of the frequent gales she has chosen the tougher varieties such as the Rugosas, and one of them is Rosaraie de l’Haye. On a whim from out of the blue, I found myself sketching it one day, and then playing with the drawings until they almost became abstractions. This is the result.”

This project is available as a kit from Virtual Yarns, ranging in price from $97 to $155.
