The rose anticipates what happens to the guests. Dr. Heidegger first uses it to demonstrate the rejuvenating power of the elixir; and later it withers right before the same thing happens to the old guests. If you believe that the elixir is nothing more than alcohol, then the rose is a key part of the dramatic show that Heidegger puts on for his guests in order to convince them that they are in fact growing young and then old again.
In "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment" by Nathaniel Hawthorne, the rose symbolizes the passage of time and its effects. At first the rose, that has been given to the doctor by his fiancee fifty-five years ago, shows all the effects of time "...though now the green leaves and crimson petals had assumed one brownish hue..."
And his old friends are depicted "...They looked as if they had never known what youth or pleasure was, but had been the offspring of Nature's dotage, and always the gray, decrepit, sapless, miserable creatures, who now sat stooping round the doctor's table, without life enough in their souls or bodies to be animated even by the prospect of growing young again..."
Through the changes that the rose suffers, after been put in the water from the Youth Fountain, "...The crushed and dried petals stirred, and assumed a deepening tinge of crimson, as if the flower were reviving from a deathlike slumber; the slender stalk and twigs of foliage became green; and there was the rose of half a century, looking as fresh as when Sylvia Ward had first given it to her love..." so we can predict what will happen to the guests. "...Assuredly there was an almost immediate improvement in the aspect of the party...together with a sudden glow of cheerful sunshine brightening over all their visages at once. There was a healthful suffusion on their cheeks, instead of the ashen hue that had made them look so corpse-like..."

The young lady inspected her flounces and smoothed her ribbons again; and Winterbourne presently risked an observation upon the beauty of the view. He was ceasing to be embarassed, for he had begun to perceive that she was not in the least embarrassed herself. There had not been the slightest alteration in her charming complexion; she was evidently neither offended nor flattered. If she looked another way when he spoke to her, and seemed not particularly to hear him, this was simply her habit, her manner. Yet, as he talked a little more and pointed out some of the objects of interest in the view, with which she appeared quite unacquainted, she gradually gave him more of the benefit of her glance; and then he saw that this glance was perfectly direct and unshrinking. It was not, however, what would have been called an immodest glance, for the young girl's eyes were singularly honest and fresh. They were wonderfully pretty eyes; and, indeed, Winterbourne had not seen for a long time anything prettier than his fair countrywoman's various features—her complexion, her nose, her ears, her teeth. He had a great relish for feminine beauty; he was addicted to observing and analyzing it; and as regards this young lady's face he made several observations.
Mode of narration which is used in this excerpt from Daisy Miller by Henry James is Third Person Limited.
In the narration of the third person limited the narrator is confined with the feelings of one character. That one character is followed closely by describing another character with the pronouns she, he and they.
Hence, in the above paragraph, the narrator focuses on one character the young lady and revolves other characters around her, "For he had begun to perceive that she was not in the least embarrassed herself."
"Yet, as he talked a little more and pointed out some of the objects of interest in the view, with which she appeared quite unacquainted, she gradually gave him more of the benefit of her glance."
While the other lines in the paragraph describe her as a person.
