English: Rose (qN; single-letter symbol O). Makes any number of consecutive knight moves on an octagonal (almost circular) path. It may move either clockwise or counterclockwise: going along a sequence of numbers 1-2-3-4-3-2-1 in a circle on the diagram demonstrates one possible move of the rose. It may jump over pieces in each of its individual knight moves, but is blocked by pieces on its circular path (though it may capture an enemy piece thus placed).

By going all the way around a circle, it is allowed to return to its starting position. Thus a player with an unblocked rose may pass their turn.

The rose was invented in 1968 by Robert Meignant for chess problems.
