The package seems to be very well designed:
I did not know anything about this package at the time reading your 
question. Reading the help page and trying out the first example, it 
took me less than a minute to figure it out (hence I wonder why you 
haven't?). From the example:

   library(circular)
   x <- circular(runif(50, 0, 2*pi))
   rose.diag(x, bins = 18, main = 'Uniform Data')
   ## plot the mean:
   points(mean(x), col = "red")
