Rosebud drywall texture is popular mostly because of the ease of application. Also, it does very well at covering imperfections in the drywall surface. This type of texture is created by applying a very thin layer of drywall mud to the entire surface and then stomping patterns using a rosebud style soft bristle brush. Rosebud drywall texture is applied primarily to ceilings where smooth wall finish is indicated for the walls. Rosebud drywall texture is rarely if ever used on walls.
Rosebud Stomp drywall texture is common on ceilings throughout the Midwest United States. The name Rosebud refers to the look it creates of an opened rose flower with petals rolling out in a circular pattern from the center.
