Apparently you are using the 32x32 rose2.  Don't you like the 382x469 one
better?  As I mentioned in the README, I extracted it from a NeWS demo;
which means it was originally in PostScript.  I'm sure if you grep around
in your nearest NeWS directory tree, you will find the source, and that
will be much more compact and convenient that the bitmap form.
