Roses is the central work of the artists Françoise und Daniel Cartier, which has been created since 1998. The book consists of a series of photograms, which have been created solely through sun light on photographic paper, on which the artists have deliberately placed so called objets trouvés. Françoise und Daniel Cartier combine their photograms, an archaic photographic technique with objects, with the contemporary life and the modern world of consumerism through underwear, doll dresses, costume jewellery and tissues on the one hand and skeletons, x-ray photographs, groups of hair and shells on the other.

Roses is a freely constructed artist book, that relates to the photographic and installational work of the artist couple. The swiss writer Michael Stauffer wrote passages especially for the publication, which create a new level of perception when combined with the images.
