In topology, a "rose" (or "topologist's rose") is a specific type of topological space that is defined as the wedge sum of a finite number of circles. More formally, a rose with \\( n \\) petals is constructed by taking \\( n \\) copies of the unit circle \\( S^1 \\) and identifying all of their base points (typically the point at which they intersect the center of the rose).
