+
+    Parameters
+    ----------
+    position
+    position_type
+
+    width
+        Width of the rose in plot coordinates (append **i** (inch),
+        **cm** (centimeters), or **p** (points)), or append % for a size in percentage
+        of map width [default is 10%].
+    label
+        A sequence of four strings to label the cardinal points W,E,S,N. Use a empty
+        string to skip a specific label. If set to ``True``, use the default labels
+        ``["W", "E", "S", "N"]``.
+    fancy
+        Get a fancy rose. The fanciness level can be set to 1, 2, or 3:
+
+        - Level 1 draws the two principal E-W, N-S orientations
+        - Level 2 adds the two intermediate NW-SE and NE-SW orientations
+        - Level 3 adds the eight minor orientations WNW-ESE, NNW-SSE, NNE-SSW, and
+          ENE-WSW
+
+        If set to ``True``, it defaults to level 1.
