The pattern by Kortelahti is generally similar, but a bit more complicated than than the rose taught by Pauline Collarette.
ELK's is about half the width, so it will make a smaller rose. It also has three sizes of scallops, and a straight footside that is gathered with a thread. In reading the pattern carefully, a person has to copy the three largest petals 5 times because there are to be 15 of them before making the two medium petals and the smallest. The pricking has only one small petal showing, but the picture of the flat lace shows two small petals at the end of the curve. I'm sure a person could adjust the number of petals to the size rose desired. From the picture, this pattern makes a very pretty rose that is fuller than the pattern I use. My pattern is usable with a beginner, after the 3rd lesson. ELK's pattern is a bit more advanced. Choose your pattern according to your ability and desired end result.
