ceiling rose
In the United Kingdom and Australia, a ceiling rose is a decorative element affixed to the ceiling from which a chandelier or light fitting is often suspended. They are typically round in shape and display a variety of ornamental designs.
In modern British wiring setups, light fittings usually use loop-in ceiling roses,〔(Usage on "Light wiring" UK website )〕 〔(How to replace an electrical ceiling rose on "Ceiling Rose Wiring" UK website )〕which also include the functionality of a junction box.
==Etymology==
The rose has symbolised secrecy since Roman times, due to a confused association with the Egyptian god Horus.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Botanical Journeys Plant Guides, Roses and their meaning )〕 For its associations with ceilings and confidentiality, refer to the Scottish Government's Sub Rosa initiative.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sub Rosa )〕 Through its promise of secrecy, the rose, suspended above a meeting table, symbolises the freedom to speak plainly without repercussion. The physical carving of a rose on a ceiling was used for this purpose during the rule of England's Tudor King Henry VIII and has over the centuries evolved into a standard item of domestic vernacular architecture, to such an extent that it now constitutes a term for the aforementioned circular device that conceals and comprises the wiring box for an overhead light fitting.
