That's just inaccurate.

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 comission. That's all.
