This crochet Irish Rose is a popular motif used in Irish Lace. It can be used for so many different projects.
You can use it as an appliqué and embellish anything you would like, you can use it for scrapbooking or card making or you can make jewelry with these flowers! I’ve used such Irish Rose to embellish my Chain Scarf. And you may also like this crochet flower motif:

You will need to block your Rose as decorative edge makes the last Rnd of petals wavy.
