withered rose
Past its prime
A withered rose is a rose that has dried out and lost its freshness, petals curling and color fading.
The image appears constantly in poetry and song as a symbol of lost beauty, faded love, or the passage of time: She pressed the withered rose between the pages of his letters.
What was once vibrant has declined.
