The depiction of the musk rose is very similar to the personifications of flowers in Flora's Feast. Again, parts of flowers are incorporated into the dress and accessories of the woman. Crane is using imagery from current fashion trends and putting them into children's books. Crane is easily able to move between his earlier and later work, and is able to keep it recognisably his and his alone.
