Rose "Rosie" Cotton (T.A. 2984[1] - Mid-year's Day Fo.A. 61[2]) was the daughter of Tolman Cotton Senior and Lily Brown. She married Samwise Gamgee at the end of the Third Age, and bore him a record thirteen children.
Life
Youth
Rose Cotton was born in the year 1384 by Shire Reckoning, the second child and first daughter of Tolman Cotton and Lily Brown.[1] The Cotton family lived in a farm on the South Lane, which was fairly close to Bywater.[3] Not much of her youth in known, except that she and her brothers - Young Tom, Jolly, Nick and Nibs - frequently swam in the Bywater Pool with the children of the Gamgee family, to which the Cottons were close.[4]
War of the Ring
Fourth Age
Etymology
The name Rose is a translation of an unknown Westron name. She is, like many female Hobbits, named after a flower,[5] the rose. The surname Cotton comes from a Westron Hlothran, which roughly translates as "Cottager".[5]
In the King's Letter, which was not included in The Return of the King as published, Elessar translated the name Rose as Meril in Sindarin.[6] In his linguistical analysis of the King's Letter, Carl F. Hostetter noted the resemblance to Meril-i-Turinqi, the queen of Tol Eressëa in the earliest stages of the Book of Lost Tales.[7] Hostetter could not connect it to any entry in the Etymologies, which mirrors Christopher Tolkien's observations on Meril-i-Turinqi, for which no root could be found in the Qenya Lexicon[8] - however, a Gnomish translation was translated as "Queen of Flowers".[8] As the second element represents the "queen" part, Meril appears to be one of the oldest words for "Flower" in the legendarium.
Rustic Love
Portrayal in Adaptations
1981: BBC Radio's The Lord of the Rings:
- Rose was voiced by Kathryn Hurlbutt. At the end, she has one child, Elanor, portrayed by Harry Holm.[9]
2001: Peter Jackson's The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Rosie, played by Sarah McLeod, dances at the Farewell Party. She is portrayed as a popular girl. In the extended edition, she is the barmaid of the Green Dragon. Sam's love for her seems unrequited, or Rosie simply does not know.
2002: Vivendi's The Fellowship of the Ring:
- Rosie is, once again, the barmaid of the Green Dragon. She shows more concern and affection for Frodo than for Sam, whom she considers childish. Rose lives with her father at Number 3, South Lane, Bywater. No voice actress is specified for this role, but it is a thinly veiled Jennifer Hale.
2003: Peter Jackson's The Return of the King:
- Rosie was, again, played by Sarah McLeod. Still the barmaid of the Green Dragon, Sam makes his move on her, and they marry. Despite Frodo being gone, they live at Number 3, Bagshot Row. Sam and Rosie have two children: Elanor (played by Sean Astin's daughter Alexandra), and Frodo (played by Maisy McLeod-Riviera, Sarah McLeod's daughter).
