  1. Hello, I'm triying to learn how to fold Phu Tran's rose or finding someone who could teach me how to fold ... if you can help me in anyway, please write me at juanjo(dot)vega(a)gmail.com

  2. I hope Phu got a hold of you. I did forward him your message.

    If you have the time, go to Saj's origami forum and do a search for "Phu rose". That should give you an idea of where things are on this.
