Best Answer

A compass rose is usually found on a map. It shows the main directions, (North, South, East, West) as well as directions like Northeast, etc.

If you visualise a circle with 8 evenly spaced lines going through, with each line labeled, you will get an idea of what a compass rose looks like.

Roses show which way is north, east, south, west. Without a rose, it would be hard to tell which way is which.
