It means that it is ironic that death or frost has fallen on the most beautiful flower and not on some common or hasty flower hence is like Juliet as she has taken the potion, which is thought to make her dead and is like death falling onto the most prosperous young female.

"Like an untimely frost". A simile is an explicit comparison, almost always using the word "like" and sometimes "as".

Who said that lies on her like an untimley frost?

Capulet says this about his daughter Juliet. "Death lies on her like an untimely frost upon the sweetest flower of all the field." This is in Act IV Scene 5 of the play, when Juliet is discovered, apparently (but unknown to her father, not really) dead on the morning of her wedding day.

Describe the imagery shakespeare uses in describing Juliet's?

Shakespeare does not describe Juliet's death; he does not have to since we see it right in front of us. We see the actress playing Juliet pick up Romeo's dagger and say "Oh, happy dagger! This is thy sheath!", stab herself and die. Different actresses will no doubt do that differently. But it is not described by the characters in the play (and Shakespeare only speaks through them) in the couple of pages which follow the event except by simple statements like the watchman's "warm and newly dead" and the friar's "as it seems, [she] did violence on herself." Even the stage directions (which nobody watching the play would know about) are simple: "Kils herselfe".
