We already know that Ruby's Aura and Semblance produce rose petals. It was likely she was using her own Aura to A) prevent from getting hit by any stray swords or  B) and more likely, guard her scythe in case the WF soldiers didn't have unlocked Aura.

Ruby has nothing in her arsenal that actually becomes rose petals or takes on that form; that's simply an animation effect.

As for the battle itself, it seemed clear to me that Ruby sped forward and through the crowd of WF, knocking them in the air with the scythe by aiming to put their legs out from under them, and hit them again on the way down to put them out of commission. That's all. All I know is, if you watch that part at 0.25 speed, it seems that the first time she fires Crescent Rose, there's a slight white flash of a bullet being fired that also has a red blast mixed in with it. The rose petals that time may have been left behind by her cape, but it's hard to tell. The second time, however, the rose petals came from the red blast produced from Crescent Rose's muzzle, not Ruby's cape.

Usually, when Ruby uses her Aura and Semblance, the rose petals come from her cape.

I've decided to get the individual frames to help show, now that I'm actually able to get individual frames. It is a lot more obvious in the second shot she did, and the way that the second shot goes makes it actually questionable whether the rose petals came from her cape or the shot that time.
