White roses traditionally symbolise purity and remembrance. Garden varieties like this are often hybrids bred for layered petals and fragrance rather than long vase life, which is why they can look beautifully “weathered” on the bush.
The photography style mimics "Chiaroscuro," an art technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, often seen in Renaissance still-life paintings.
