A vase is placed right of center as the garden roses and leaves hang over the vase, filling the empty space on the left. Seven full roses are seen in various angles and stages of bloom from opening bud to an aging bloom. The large cylindrical vase is detailed with warriors galloping on white horses and swords out, against a brown background. The vase sits on a shiny wooden table, its reflection is seen in the varnish, as well as the wood grain. The background behind the vase is undescribed hues of blues and greens.
