Crossword-Solution: ROSACES 7 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 9

The church is lighted by one hundred and twenty five windows placed in three rows not including the three rosaces.

And what balconies! Not the poor railing to which we give that name, but projecting parapets of stone, pierced into trefoils, quatrefoils, rosaces, cusps, brackets, balustrades--sometimes running across the whole house-front, more often guarding a single window, itself lofty, arched, mullioned and rich with tracery.

The fine rosaces in the ends of the transepts contain fourteenth century glass, and the western rose with its gallery of eight lancets below, excellent Renaissance glazing.

The small rosaces above, which serve to tie together these pairs of lancets, are very pleasing, nor should we fail to note the handsome wide borders of the lancets themselves, plentifully besprinkled with fleur de lis.

The only exception to this rule is where the triforium gallery passes below the lovely rosaces that decorate the transept ends--there, in each case, the row of ten lancets is filled, alas! with modern glass whose thin tones betray it at once.
