Rose Petal Place was a secondary line of toys for young girls marketed by Kenner (now part of Hasbro) in the mid-80's. However, after the 2nd of 2 animated specials, Real Friends, hit the air in the fall of 1985, a new set of figures, set to be released in time for Christmas, was cancelled.
Ruby-Spears and then-independent producer David Kirschner (who'd later work for Universal and Hanna-Barbera) co-produced the Rose Petal Place specials, headlined by singer-actress Marie Osmond as Rose Petal. I believe the Rose Petal specials marked Marie's voice-over debut, more than a decade after her brothers had their Saturday morning series.
In Real Friends, Nastina (Marilyn Schreffler, ex-The All-New Popeye Hour) tries to create discord among Rose and her friends.
