Called a rose-bud - but think of a flame pattern more along the lines of a dandelion "gone to seed."

A "suffuse" flame, broad spectrum, for heating wider areas to less degree. Lots of heat, lots of gas used, but widely applied.

As in doing lead body work. Or bell & spigot plumbing. Even sweat soldering.
