Spanish term

rosa

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering
From a builder's estimate:

Abrir rosas en los muros exteriores y piedras de las jardineras para instalar tubos corrugados de electricidad

Ellar nuevamente aperturas de rosas y apertura para cajas de empalme con mortero.

Any ideas?
Proposed translations (English)
5 rose
5 opening
4 +1 chasing

My idea The only idea I could think of was "opening", but then in the second sentence this would not make sense, as apertura would be translated in this way

Peer comment(s):
agree Andy Watkinson : I realise the question's closed but I'm certain they're referring to "rozas" - chasing

Thank you Andy. Well, apparently Asker was in a hurry (and disregarding KudoZ rules). Hopefully a proofreader with more time and wit will spot and fix it. :)
