Ruscow would seem to be the same name. But see Roscruge.
ROSCROWGIE. See Roscruge.
ROSCRUGE. Hals says the estate of Roscruge, in the parish of St. Anthony in Kerrier, "gave name and original to a family of gentlemen now or lately in possession thereof." Polwhele translates the surname Roscreege, the valley of the barrow (creeg, a barrow). Pryce renders Roscreege, as well as Roscrow, the valley cross. Roskruge, Roscrowgie, and Rescrouge are doubtless the same name. He also renders Crow-gie, cross hedge. But see Roscrow.
ROSE. From some place of the name, perhaps from Rose in Perranzabuloe; from rose, rosh, a valley between hills; or from ros, a mountain meadow, common, moss. Hence the names Ress, Roose, Ros, Ross, Rosse, Rous, Rouse, Rowse, Ruse, Rush.
ROSECOSSA. From Rosecossa in St. Just in Roselant; from rose-coose, -cûs, the woody valley. Hence, by corruption, the name Rescassa.
ROSECREGG, ROSCREGG, ROSCREEGE. From Rosecregg in the parish of St. Anthony Meneage, where the family were resident in 1820; from root of Roscruge, q. v.
ROSEKILLEY. See Roskelly.
ROSELIAN. From Rosillian, Roselian, or Rose-Sillian, in St. Blazey. Pryce renders Rose Lyon, the vale in open view.
ROSEMERRIN, ROSEMORAN. From Rosemorron in Gulval; or Rosmeran in Budock; from rose-merrin, the vale of blackberies (L. morus).
ROSENITHON. From Rôsnithen, which Pryce renders the furzy vale (rose-n-eithen).
