Quick Summary

In botany, a rosette refers to a circular arrangement of leaves or other plant parts. This can occur at the base of a plant, like in a dandelion, where leaves grow from a crown with very short stems. It can also describe a cluster of leaves or floral design used decoratively, or even a pattern on an animal's coat. This growth pattern is a characteristic of some angiosperms.12
