A vertically oriented watercolor and ink drawing on cream vellum depicts rose blossoms on thorny stems. Near the top center, a large pink blossom with a yellow center opens beside smaller roses and buds. To the left, a shorter stem features a deep red rose with a yellow center. Dense, serrated green leaves fill the lower half, all framed within a thin red rectangular border.
