This
page is for those who want the instructions to fold a spiral rose. This spiral rose was designed by Hyo Ahn. This rose simluates rosebud which means that it is youngest family member of all origami roses. This rose is as simple as the standard rose in folding. Only the difficult part is to make the spiral effect. If you want to make a tutorial video out of this rose, you don't need to get a permission from me if you put the title as "Origami rosebud from bloom4ever.com". You should contact me in any other cases.
You may use any kind of paper to fold the
standard rose (*it is easier if the front and the back side of the paper are
slightly different whether it be in texture or color)
Make sure the paper
that you use is a square(all sides are equal and all the angles
equal 90 degrees). The paper I am using here is 20cm x 20cm square one.

Androcles Fable
A slave named Androcles once escaped from his master and fled to the forest. As he was wandering about there he came upon a Lion lying down moaning and groaning. At first he turned to flee, but finding that the Lion did not pursue him, he turned back and went up to him. As he came near, the Lion put out his paw, which was all swollen and bleeding, and Androcles found that a huge thorn had got into it, and was causing all the pain. He pulled out the thorn and bound up the paw of the Lion, who was soon able to rise and lick the hand of Androcles like a dog. Then the Lion
took Androcles to his cave, and every day used to bring him meat from which to live. But shortly afterwards both Androcles and the Lion were captured, and the slave was sentenced to be thrown to the Lion, after the latter had been kept without food for several days. The Emperor and all his Court came to see the spectacle, and Androcles was led out into the middle of the arena. Soon the Lion was let loose from his den, and rushed bounding and roaring towards his victim. But as soon as he came near to Androcles he recognised his friend, and fawned upon him, and licked his hands like a friendly dog. The Emperor, surprised at this, summoned Androcles to him, who told him the whole story. Whereupon the slave was pardoned and freed, and the Lion let loose to his native forest.
