Gardner’s Art Through the Ages (eighth edition) was published in 1986. It was published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich and written by Horst de la Croix and Richard G. Tansey.

It defines a rose window (or a wheel window) as: The large, circular window with tracery and stained glass frequently used in the facades of Gothic churches.

In Gothic churches and cathedrals, the decorations in the rose window served as illustrations meant to educate the illiterate members of the congregation. They would often be adorned with Biblical stories or symbols that were intended to instruct people how to worship and behave.

Rose windows were sometimes used during the Romanesque period, but these windows were usually plain. It was not until the 12th century that complex stained glass and tracery decorations began to appear in rose windows.

In many churches, the rose window is located at the west end of the nave, in the end of the transepts.

Rose window is sometimes considered the generic term for a circular window as well.
