In England, the use of the rose window was commonly confined to the transepts although roses of great span were constructed in the west front of [[Byland Abbey]] and in the east front of [[Old St. Paul's Cathedral]] in London.

The cathedrals of [[York Minster|York]], [[Lincoln Cathedral|Lincoln]], [[Canterbury Cathedral|Canterbury]], [[Durham Cathedral|Durham]] and [[Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford|Oxford]] feature medieval rose windows.

Later windows are to be seen at the nondenominational [[Abney Park Chapel]] in London designed in 1838–40 by [[William Hosking]] FSA; Holy Trinity Church, [[Barnes, London|Barnes]], London; St Nicholas, [[Richmond, London|Richmond]]; and [[St Albans Cathedral]] by [[George Gilbert Scott]].

At Christ Church [[Appleton-le-Moors]], Yorkshire, the 19th-century architect [[John Loughborough Pearson|J.L.Pearson]] appears to have taken as his inspiration the regional floral symbol of the [[House of York|white rose]]. This unusual plate-tracery window dating from the 1860s has been designed with five double sections like the two-part petals of a simple rose.

The largest rose window in England is believed to be that installed in the [[Lancing College Chapel|chapel of Lancing College]] in 1978, with a diameter of 32 feet.{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}

====France====
France has a great number of medieval rose windows, many containing ancient glass. In northern France, a rose window is usually the central feature of the facade. The transept facades commonly contain rose windows as well. Examples can be seen at [[Notre Dame, Paris]] (see left), the [[Basilica of Saint Denis]] (see left), [[Chartres Cathedral]] (see above), [[Reims Cathedral]], [[Amiens Cathedral]] and [[Strasbourg Cathedral]] (see introductory pictures.)

====Italy====

In Italy, the rose window was particularly used by the [[Lombardy|Lombard]] [[architect]]s, as in [[Basilica of San Zeno, Verona|San Zeno]] in [[Verona]], and in the Cathedral of [[Modena]], and in the [[Tuscany|Tuscan]] Gothic churches like the Cathedrals of [[Siena]] and [[Orvieto]].
An outstanding example of a rose window is the thirteen-spoked centrepiece of the [[Minor Basilica]] in [[Larino]], Molise (1312). Others are the [[Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi|Basilica of St Francis of Assisi]] and [[Santa Maria di Collemaggio]] (1289) in [[L'Aquila]].
