What is the correct name of the usually brass or wooden circular widget
that goes between the knob and the door? Plate? Rose? I've seen both
terms used. Perhaps plate if wooden and rose if brass?

Any thoughts?

Escutcheon?

Yes. Along with the little circular disc that covers the keyhole.
Escutcheon pins are quite handy, too - took me sodding ages to find out
what they were called.

Oh! I knew escutcheon was the term for the keyhole cover, but didn't
realise the bit behind the knob is the same name.

Escutcheon pin? Have not heard that. Would that be the pin (or screw)
that holds the knob on the spindle? Just Googled and no, the pins seem
to be used to hold the escutcheon to the door. I have always used small
brass screws.

What clever chaps you all are :-)

Rosette seems to find more results in US than UK, but door + rosette,
plate or rose gets results.

Just trying to make up sets of matching handles and associated hardware
on various doors, and have a goodly stock of spindles, brass knobs,
wooden knobs and even keyhole escutcheons, but not the rose part. I'll
find some now.
