Rozet may be used in numerous methods to signify different meanings, from awards to decorations. They may be personalised with event/show names or left plain, with the colour signifying the placing.
The most obvious employ of rosettes is to signify the winner or placing (first, 2nd and even tweflth etc) at an event. Such events can range between horse shows, dog shows, cat shows etc to baking competitions, school sports days and soccer suits. Infact, rosettes may be awarded for anything!
How exciting to win and be awarded with a brightly coloured token to take house and keep! A lot of people treasure their winning rosettes for yrs to come and display them on a bedroom wall, display cabinet etc.
At virtually all events, the regular placing colors used are as follows:
Red = First site
Blue = 2nd spot
Yellowish = Third place
Green = Fourth site
Pink = Fifth area
Purple = Sixth site
This helps everyone know the placing, even if the rosette centres are unprinted. They can range from all one shade to a mixture of colours. A very best in show, would normally be red-colored, white colored and blue, with reserve most effective in show being blue and white-colored.
Another main employ for rosettes is by political parties to denote their political allegiance. A candidate is easily recognisable by the colour of his rosettes, though his name or face is unknown. We all know that blue = Conservatives, red = Labour and yellow = Liberal Democrats etc, but the minor parties and independents possess a rainbow of colours for their rosettes. Will we ultimately run out of colors?
Rosettes could be made in a variety of sizes, normally denoted by the number of ribbon tiers. Generally the higher placing rosettes will have more ribbon tiers than the lesser placing.
Rosettes can be used to commemorate a special event, e.g. a birthday, anniversary or wedding. Rosettes are excellent for putting on as name badges or location names. All of these also present a lovely keepsake memento of the special day.
