One Rose Flower Coloring Page

This elegant flower coloring page features a single blooming rose with a tall, slender stem and three leafy branches. The rose is drawn in a simple yet graceful style, making it perfect for young artists who are learning to appreciate the beauty of nature. The rose’s petals are gently layered, curving outward in soft, rounded shapes that form a full blossom at the top. The flower is in mid-bloom — not too tight, but not completely open — which gives it a fresh and lively feeling.

The long stem is slightly curved, giving the flower a sense of natural movement, and it supports three pairs of broad, pointed leaves with visible central veins. The leaves are symmetrically arranged and look healthy, adding to the impression of a well-nourished plant. The lack of thorns on the stem makes the rose appear soft and safe for young artists to imagine up close. The clean, open background allows kids to use their imagination to create a sky, garden, or any other environment around the rose.

Whether you're looking for a free flower coloring page to download as a printable pdf or png, this beautiful rose design offers a relaxing and creative way for kids to explore color, nature, and art all at once.

Coloring Tips for Kids

Flower Petals

• Classic Red Rose: Use deep red #C21807 for outer petals and a lighter shade like #E57373 or even pink #FF69B4 for inner petals to create a soft natural gradient.
• Yellow Rose Option: Bright sunny yellow #FFEB3B for outer petals and golden orange #FBC02D for inner ones.
• Creative Twist: Try rainbow petals using colors like lavender #CE93D8, sky blue #81D4FA, and mint green #A5D6A7 to make your flower extra magical!
• Shading Tip: Add shadows near the petal folds using a darker tone like crimson #8B0000 or purple #8E24AA depending on your main color.

Stems & Leaves

• Stems: Use a natural green #388E3C for the main stem, with a touch of shadow in forest green #2E7D32.

Plant Details & Variations

• Realistic Color Idea: Keep the palette inspired by nature — deep greens, warm reds, or sunny yellows.

• A patch of grass under the rose can be shaded using leaf green #81C784 and a little olive green #689F38.
