After It Bloomed – Wild Rose Botanical Watercolor Print

This fine art print features a watercolor painting of wild roses in bloom alongside ripened rose hips. The flowers are open and soft, their petals worn thin, while the rounded hips remain firm and present along the stems.

Wild roses bloom briefly, but their hips last well beyond the flowers themselves. In this piece, the pairing reflects what remains after beauty has already been offered. Not absence, but evidence. The quiet outcome of having opened at all.

This work speaks to the season after intensity. After care. After vulnerability. When what is left behind carries its own kind of weight and meaning.

Symbolism
Wild roses symbolize resilience, honesty, and survival without ornament. Rose hips are associated with protection, nourishment, and the lasting imprint of growth. Together, they represent what endures after tenderness has passed, the physical and emotional remnants that stay.
