*This is the final release of the Phu Tran Rose diagrams. There will be no more development of this rose because I feel V3 Clean Method is the most efficient way to fold this rose. I have learned a lot from V2 and implemented many changes in V3 Final. V3 Clean Method is superior than it’s V2 from a technical perspective and most importantly from the end result appeal. The rose is nearly CREASE FREE! I hope you may find my production worth while. Please give me feedbacks.*
