rose-window

Gothic circular or marigold window subdivided by complex tracery radiating from the center and joining in foils to form a stylized floral design of great intricacy and beauty, often found combined with the tracery of a large Pointed window as well as isolated within a circular aperture. It is distinct from a Catherine-wheel or wheel-window, both of which have colonnettes coincident with the radii, like spokes. (Curl & Wilson, 2016)
