Morphology

rosehead = rose + head (transparent) = rose + head

The meaning is a straightforward compound of 'rose' and 'head', referring to the bloom or top part associated with a rose plant.

Etymology

Rosehead is made from rose ('rose') and head ('top'), and it simply means the flower at the top of a rose plant. That 'top' idea explains why gardeners talk about trimming the rosehead to help new growth.
