ARMS (Shield) INTERPRETATION:
Argent - (Means the Shield is Silver (Argent=Silver))
Three roses gules - (Means 3 Roses (Heraldic Roses) are placed on the Shield in the usual arrangement (2 & 1))
Gules - (Means the Roses are Red (Gules=Red)))
CREST (Helmet) INTERPRETATION:
Out of a Crest Coronet - (Means the next thing deScribed will come out from a Crest Coronet (often
called a "Ducal Coronet"), which is a "Crown-like" device that has no significance except either for Helmet decoration or to signify Government Service - it's
always drawn with only 3 of its 4 Strawberry leaves shown & without jewels.)
Between a Vol sable a Rose gules - (Means a Red (Gules) Rose goes between a black (Sable) pair of uplifted
Wings conjoined at the base, and this is all affixed by the Coronet (together with the Mantling) to the Helmet, which is drawn in
Profile with the Visor closed or with No Visor nor Grilles - the kind used by a "Bürgerliche" (Esquire/Commoner/Citizen))
SYMBOLISM:
Crown (Coronet) - (Authority)
Note: Because it isn't specifically deScribed in writing, it's unknown whether the Crest Coronet is just an
heraldic adornment (a common practice) or signifies Government Service (also a common practice).
Rose (Red) - (Grace and beauty)
Vol (Wings) - (Swiftness, protection, celebrity, or coverture)
Colors:
Argent (Silver) - (Peace and sincerity)
Gules (Red) - (Military fortitude and magnanimity)
Or (Gold) - (Generosity)
Sable (Black) - (Constancy, sometimes grief)
