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