In addition to resplendent still lifes, which combine a variety of exquisite plants, Waldmüller also liked to concentrate on the humble rose, "to represent reality in all its actuality", as Grimschitz noted. This picture shows a bunch of roses from the garden that has been placed in a glass without being elaborately arranged. The blooms were not chosen nor the picture composed to be beautiful but by coincidence. There are flowers in the bunch that have started to wilt or have lost their petals. A rose has fallen beside the base of the vase to reinforce this sense of the frozen moment.
