The blooms are off the roses

I've had this bouquet of small roses hanging in my house for quite a few months. I needed the hook yesterday for the balloons and just put the flowers on my dining room table. As I did, a number of the petals fell off. Too bad I don't dust well.

@kjarn Thank you Kathy. I think I will dispose of these 'cause the petals are falling off very easily.and perhaps get more soon.
@tosee Thanks so much Tom.
@summerfield I'm glad you like it. Thank you Vikki.
@shutterbug49 Thanks so much Debbie.
@onewing I should have dusted the table before I laid them there, but wasn't really planning on taking a photo. Too late by the time I did. Thank you Babs.
@Dawn Thank you Dawn.

[Chris Cook]

Definitely past their best by date. Would be perfect for the song title challenge. (Dead Flowers, The Rolling Stones)

[Margaret Brown]

Love the still life

[GaryW]

Such wonderful warm colors in this photo! Sorry about the roses. And dust...it forms the moment you bring out a camera!

[haskar]

Beautiful still life.

[Pyrrhula]

Even dried they are beautiful and worth thaking a pic.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

A little dust adds to the forlorn feeling of the dried roses. (o:

@cdcook48 I agree Chris about them being past their prime. They will be composted tomorrow I think. Not familiar with that Rolling Stones song. Perhaps I'll tag it.
@craftymeg Thank you Meg.
@thewatersphotos Don't be sorry about the roses. They stuck around here much longer than many would have kept them. They've been here for a year. Thanks Gary.
@haskar Thank you Hannah.
@pyrrhula Thank you Ferry. I thought they were still pretty. They are shedding petals now like crazy so I will compost them tomorrow.
@olivetreeann Oh dear. Well, that's the kind of house keeper I am. There's more dust around. Thanks Ann.

[John Falconer]

The petals are very well placed. Great shot.

[Kathy]

@johnfalconer Believe it or not it was were they fell when I moved the bouquet to the table. Thank you John.
