If you've made the other type of rose before (the one starting with a 4*4 grid), then you probably know what you have to do now. I'm not sure what the step is called, but I'd like to introduce you to the very easy diamond method. I learned this from the internet, and thought it was great.

First, fold the square in half following its diagonal. Pinch the two sides together, and flatten the paper out, making sure the flap thing is facing toward the left side.

Open up the square and bring the flap up.

Unfold the origami, and you'll have that little swirl in the middle.

I've seen two other methods of doing this before, but I still like the diamond method the best. However, if this method doesn't suit you, try this method instead: http://bloom4ever.com/howto/howto06.php
