This
page is for those who want the instructions to fold a standard rose flower. This standard rose is originally designed by Toshikazu Kawasaki. This is the simplistic rose design he made out of three and the model was shown in a book,
"Roses, Origami & Math (Hardcover)".The method I am using for folding somewhat different from the book. If you find any bugs on this instruction, please send an email to .The folding method given here is somewhat different from the original Kawasaki's.
You may use any kind of paper to fold the
standard rose flower (*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).

This proposal met with general applause, until an old mouse got up and said:
"That is all very well, but who is to bell the Cat?" The mice looked at one another and nobody spoke. Then the old mouse said:
