The roses themselves are not too horribly confetti. There are blocks of four to eight stitches of each color, then move a couple of stitches over and do another four to eight. I think there are five or six different reds and four different greens in the rose garland. The roses continue in a looping garland off of each arm in the pattern. That's where I decided I needed to take a break because I'm very particular about colors showing up through the back of the pattern and it will be a few blocks of small areas stitched to complete the roses.
