The painting depicts a bouquet of leaning rose petals. The contrast of red and florid flowers, green foliage and the neutral grey background form an impression of a stable composition. The outlines of the leaves and petals, which are painted in a Secession-like style. The graceful leaning of the plant and creative lines establish a vivid decorative tone. The top of the bouquet is adorned with roses in blossom. The flowers look strong, are large, bright, and fully open. As they lean down, they turn pale, wither, and disappear. The lowest leaning flowers look as if they are dissolving. The painter used this pastel method to create a sense of ephemerality: to convey the fragile state of the material world and the feeling of transience, which typically characterises the works of symbolists.
