Rosebud Collection

In March of 2021, I began including Rosebuds — smaller versions of Patrick Berry’s Rows Garden puzzle — together with my weekly puzzles sent to subscribers to Garden Party Crosswords. These were only available to people who solved with their electronic devices, using the .rgz file. But I had requests from the pencil-and-paper crowd that they would like to have these in PDF form, too. In 2026, I began including the PDF versions in my weekly email blasts. This collection of 128 Rosebuds is from 3/2021 to 8/2023 and it comes in 5 varieties. Download as many as you like.

REGULAR lists the Bloom clues in order of their answers.
EASIER lists the Bloom clues in the order they appear in the grid, left to right and top to bottom.
EASIEST lists Bloom clues in grid order and gives enumerations (like (“5 3 4”) instead of notations (like “3 wds.”) and its Bloom clues also show the direction — ↺ or ↻ — the answers must be entered.
HARDER and HARDEST list the Bloom clues randomly.
HARDEST also lacks any enumerations or any signals that something is hyphenated.

You also have the option to download all the .rgz files, but if you have been a Garden Party Crosswords subscriber since 2021, and you’ve been solving in the app, you have already seen these puzzles.
