... and finally the outer row in red. I did not take a picture of the completed outer row but at a later date I decided that I did not like any of the stitching on the rose, ripped it all out (except the backstitched outline) and redid it. I much prefer my second attempt.

Happy Stitching

It's a beautiful rose CA! PIcture perfect. And your one-point open space between colors is impressive.
The one-thread gap is quite a challenge to maintain, but worth it, because it makes putting the gold outline easier!
