Wind rose are graphs developed by meteorologists to display wind speed and direction from a central point. A wind rose got it's name simply from being a graph about wind, and how they distinguish the wind speed by color, making it look like a rose. The wind rose shows the direction that the wind has come from. The above wind rose is from a wind station in Maine.
