Architectural. Rose

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Architectural. Rose [1]

A kind of rose was sometimes used as an ornament on the face of the abacus on Corinthian capitals. It also occurs in ornamental moldings during the Norman style; but the full rose, as in the accompanying illustration, was a badge of the Tudors, and during their reigns it is often found carved on buildings in conjunction with the portcullis. Parker, Gloss. of Architect. s.v.
