About these rose coloring pages

This collection of rose coloring pages covers a single rose on a long stem and a rose in a bud vase for ages 3 to 5, a climbing rose arch and a rose with floating hearts for ages 6 to 8, and a rose garden, a girl at a rose bush, doodle petals and a lace-trimmed rose heart for older kids and adults.

Roses are a favorite for Valentine's Day cards and classroom exchanges. Print the pages on cardstock, color the front and add a handwritten note on the back. For a technique lesson, show how to shade the inner petals darker than the outer ones to give the bloom depth.

Also in valentine's day coloring pages and spring coloring pages.

Rose facts to share

  1. Botanists call the sharp points on rose stems prickles rather than thorns, because they grow from the stem's outer skin.
  2. Rose hips are the round fruits that form after a rose flower fades, and many birds eat them in winter.
  3. Roses grow in many colors, but no rose is naturally a true blue.

Color idea: Beyond classic red, try a peach rose that fades to yellow at the center, with blue-green leaves for contrast.

Rose coloring page questions

Which rose pages work best for Valentine's Day?

The rose with floating hearts and the expert rose vine heart are made for Valentine's Day. The simple rose on a stem also works for younger kids making cards, since it has big petals and leaves plenty of room around it.

How do I color a rose so it looks realistic?

Start with a light base color over the whole bloom, then add a darker shade in the center and where petals overlap. Leave the curled petal edges lightest. Colored pencils blend best for this, but markers work if you layer them.

Are the rose pages suitable for adults?

Yes. The doodle rose fills every petal with patterns, and the rose vine heart has a fine lace and filigree border inside the art. Both suit teens and adults using fine-tip pens or sharp colored pencils.
