The rose ground I use for beginners is, following your sequence
A CTC
B CTC
1 CT, pin CT
2 CT, pin CT
3 CT, pin CT
4 CT, pin CT
C,,, CTC
D,,, CTC
By being the same stitch throughout it means that they are not concentrating
on the different stitch as well as the sequence
Same stitch throughout do you perhaps use CT at the corners instead
of CTC?
I wondered more if anyone uses or prefers one of the less common forms,
than who does the same as me, and if so, what stitch combinations they
use?

Just out of interest, what is your favourite combination of stitches for
Rose Ground?
I tend to stick with the corner intersections (which I label a, b, c, d)
as CTCT and then the centre pins (1, 2, 3, 4) CT, pin, CT. But there are
numerous other ways of working the blocks (see Bobbin Lace
Hope this will help Jane:
Doris Southard's first example of rose ground works the simple CT between the
four pin diamonds drawn in the pricking.
Isolate your four pairs of bobbins, two pair from the left and two pair from
the right above the four pin diamond shape in your pricking.
Each pair
