rosehead

The head or blossom of a rose.

He's here, I've heard, day after day, following you round while you snip off roseheads.

The achillea and Craspedia have strong stems which can simply be pushed into the foam ball, but as the roseheads, dahlias and Helichrysum have no stems, it is best to use a glue gun to fix the flowers to the foam ball.

In the Fort Southwest Point collection, hand-wrought iron nails headed in the "rosehead" pattern account for a total of 3,549 specimens (38% of hand-wrought nails).

A bur or gouge that has a spherical head and curled blades, resembling the curled petals of a rose.

The rosehead is a most effective gouge for removing carious bone, as well as a very convenient instrument for enlarging cloacae to allow of an exploration for sequestra.

The rosehead bur is used to remove bone and the flat fissured bur to bisect a tooth for easier removal.
