In botany, a rosette is a circular arrangement of the leaves, with all the leaves at a single height. Often, perennial plants whose foliage dies and the remaining vegetation protects the plant.

Many plant families have rosettes; they are particularly common in Asteraceae (e.g., dandelions) and Brassicaceae (e.g., cabbage).
