This design was inspired by Lynn Anderson's song “(I never promised you) A Rose Garden”. Gloria wanted to create a pattern reminiscent of the rose garden of their grandmother, who loved gardening. The special feature of this pattern is that what is usually considered the "wrong side” of crochet fabric is the right side. When worked like this, the treble crochet stitches look like small blades of grass between the individual roses. Just a small rose garden to carry around with you.
